Q. I have wooden venetian blinds in my dining room that are very dusty, what’s the best way to clean them?

A. Care must be taken when cleaning real wood blinds. Washing the blind is not recommended because, although the wood is sealed, water or even excessive dampness may cause warping or discoloration of the slats.

Since the surface of the slats is smooth, dust may be easily brushed off at regular intervals using a clean soft dust cloth or a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Vacuum often to prevent dirt from taking control and ensure you clean the bristles of your vacuum attachment before you vacuum. If necessary, use a microfibre cloth that is ever so slightly damp to clean off any remaining dirt or dust. Store the shades in a closed position whenever possible to keep the dust from collecting on the slats.
