Frequently Asked Window Blinds Questions - Answered By Blind and Shutter Depot

A. In most cases, cleaning your window blinds safely involves simply using a feather duster or a bristle vacuum attachment with the suction turned to the lowest level. With wood blinds, in particular, you want to be sure you don't use water during cleaning or expose them to moisture as this could cause damage to them. You can use a damp cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or dust that might have accumulated on faux wood or aluminum blinds.

A. Faux wood versus real wood really comes down to a matter of preference, although there are some differences between the two.
