How to clean vertical blinds in bathtub.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Mix in a little mild dishwashing soap. Use water that s warm but not too hot to the touch. Add 2 or 3 cups of liquid bleach to the cold water as you.

If the blinds are plastic or metal and you want to leave them in place to clean them make a 50 50 solution of warm water and white vinegar in a bowl or bucket. If you re cleaning vertical blinds in a bathtub basin or bucket you can use your hands to gauge the temperature of the water. Spread out a tarp outdoors or place the blinds in a bathtub depending on their size and stiffness. For tougher grime or dirt you can wipe the vanes with soapy water and a microfiber cloth or allow them to soak in a tub.

Wash the slats with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Fill the bathtub with warm water and dish soap. Abrasive cleaners may scratch the surface of your blinds so use caution. Pour water from a bucket over the blind if there is no showerhead.

Keep filling the tub until you can completely submerge your blinds in the water. Warm water is always much better it s just as efficient at stain removal yet won t ruin any glued sections. Washing with hot water can melt the glue unravelling the fold and exposing the weight. Put a few drops of liquid dish soap in the tub to help clean off any dirt or grime from the blinds.

Plug the drain and fill the tub with cold water until it covers the blind or slats. Drain the soapy water with the blind still in the bathtub. Do not use water on wood blinds. Transfer the slats or entire blind to your bath tub.

Dry each slat with a soft towel.
