I clean my blinds using a Swiffer duster, but it's very time consuming. I keep thinking that there has to be an easier way.

So, how do you keep your blinds clean?

We had wide slat wooden blinds in our bathrooms and kitchen at our old house and while I love the way they look...they were such a pain to keep clean! I would wipe off each slat, both sides, with a rag dampened with a little water.

I put a swiffer dust cloth on the end of a broom and do it. It seems to work faster. I just close them all the way, use the broom, then close them the other way and clean them that way too. If I don't have a swiffer dust cloth I put a big old hand towel or small towel on the end of the broom and spray it with furniture polish. I've done it this way for a long time and for me it works really well, and it's quicker than doing it one by one...

This is more for occasional cleaning, but if they are miniblinds, you can fill your bathtub about halfway, and pour some powdered dishwasher detergent in it. Swish that stuff around. Just lay your blinds in the water for an hour or so and then rinse off with your shower or spout. I hang mine out to dry, and the grime has come right off.
I don't regularly clean my blinds. I just do it for spring cleaning.
I might just occasionally dust with a duster...
