  air dry or wipe slats with a dry cloth again.

  cloth to wipe blind slats, rather utilize old and
  little worn-out socks. You can wear the old sock
  in your hand and dip it into your homemade
  cleaning solution, you are good to go.

  remove each slat. Dip these slates in a solution
  of warm water tub and a few drops of dishwashing
  liquid. But dont forget to follow the cleaning
  instructions that you have received while
