When To Clean Blinds? 

• Blinds can be cleaned monthly but it all depends
  on how dirty these have become. Hence, there is
  no specific rule for cleaning them. These can
  also be cleaned twice a month. The more
  frequently you dust the better off your window
  coverings are.

How To Find If It Is A Wood Blind?

• Unlike plastic blinds and shutters, wood blinds
  are more delicate and require more care. Many
  times PVC blinds are made in such a way so that
  they look like a real wood. You may take your
  blind to a professional if you are unsure of the
  material used. You may also reach out to the
  company that sold it to you. You should be
  positive whether the blinds are made of real wood
  or not.

Best Way To Clean Wood Blinds

• Step 1 Close wood blinds follow the above steps
  by using dish wash soap along with warm water
  from top to bottom. It is important that you do
  this carefully and lightly to ensure you DO NOT
  get too much liquid on your wood.
• Step 2 One thing that needs to be taken care in
  case of wood blind is that these cannot be dipped
  in water.
• Step 3 Use small amount of dish wash soap or a
  gentle soap. If you do not these may get damaged!
  Moreover, a multi-purpose cleaner can be used for
  hard stains. You must also do a test sample on a
  small area before using all over.

How To Clean Fabric Blinds Shades

• Step 1 To clean fabric blinds a vacuum cleaner
  should be used to remove such the dust then use a
  microfiber cloth or any other clean cloth.
• Step 2 Once the vacuum is done a cloth needs to
  be dipped in dish soap with lukewarm water then
  cleaned from the upward to downward direction.
• Step 3 This process needs to be done from both
  sides. In case vacuum is not available then lower
  the shades and use a soft brush to remove the
  dust then use the cloth.
• Step 4 However, if there are still some dark
  stains on the fabric then these need to be dipped
  in dish soap mixed in warm water for up to one
  hour. After completing these steps, dry them for
  up to 2 to 3 hours. (Always test a small spot to
  ensure no adverse reactions before doing the
  entire product.)

When To Clean Fabric Blinds?

• It would be better if the fabric blinds are
  cleaned twice a month to avoid dark stains or
  dust, especially those blinds which are being
  used in kitchens or bathrooms. It depends where
  the shades are located to decide if they require
  regular cleaning. If dusting is done on a regular
  basis then there wont be a need to spend much
  time in cleaning.
