How To Clean Wood Window Blinds

 

Wood window blinds need a special type of care.  They shouldn't be cleaned the same way that vinyl window blinds are. If you currently have wooden window blinds, there are a few things you can do to maintain them. We offer a few tips for cleaning wood window blinds.

 

Horizontal vs. Vertical Window Blinds

 

Unlike vinyl window shades, the direction that you clean your wood window treatments is very important. If you have horizontal blinds, you should make only left to right or right to left strokes when you're either cleaning or dusting them. You don't want to move back and forth to clean horizontal blinds. And if you have vertical wood window blinds, you only want to use downward strokes when you dust them.

 

Should I Use Polish On My Wood Window Blinds?

 

Yes you can also use polish to make your wooden window shades sparkle.  But you should apply a non-wax furniture polish using a very soft cloth on the blinds. You can also dilute some wood cleaner and use it to make your wooden window blinds shine too. You will need to carefully wipe each individual slat.

 

Dusting Wood Window Blinds

 

The surface of wood window blinds is very smooth. Therefore, you can easily brush dust off with a soft clean cloth from time to time. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the wooden window blinds. Dust will rarely ever stick on it like it can with vinyl blinds.

 

Tilting of the Wooden Slats

 

Make sure you tilt all the slats down when cleaning wood window blinds. This will allow you to clean the top of each slat easily. Make sure they aren't closed all the way.

 

Cleaning Your Wood Window Blinds

 

You don’t want to use soap and water to clean wood window blinds. Avoid using water even if the wood has been sealed. If you were to use water to clean wood window blinds, the excess moisture would likely cause the wood to warp. This moisture can also cause discoloration of some of the slats. Also avoid using abrasive solutions or solvents to clean wood window blinds because they can also cause damage.
