How to clean faux wood blinds
Faux wood blinds are among the most durable and easiest to clean. Unlike wood blinds, they are not susceptible to moisture damage. You can clean your faux wood blinds much like you clean your wood blinds. You may use a damp cloth to dust more easily. However, you should avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products. Stay away from chemical products that contain solvents. Instead, use plain water to wash away the dust, dirt, and grime.
Turn your slats to a 45-degree angle and gently wipe both sides of each slat to prevent an accumulation of dust on your horizontal blinds. You may also use the gentle vacuum attachment for a deeper clean.
Cleaning tips:
- Dust each slat from top to bottom with a damp cloth
- Avoid solvents or harsh chemical products as they can damage the finishing
- Do not use an abrasive sponge
