- A quick how to on cleaning your indoor blinds without putting them in a tub, pool, or even having to touch every blade with a duster. I have 20+ blinds in my house and this method works great so I can do them all in one weekend.
Worked great, hung them between two ladders over the lawn. Thanks for the video, saved us time and marriage lol.
Tried this method today, changed my life. Beats wiping every blade individually. Works just like the video. My blinds look new!!!
Awesome! I was searching for an effective way to clean the blinds in my new house. This is the first video I viewed and it helped me through my thinking process for cleaning my blinds. My husband has bungee cords and we have a garage. I’ll be using this method tomorrow. Thank you👍🏾👍🏾
I just used this method to clean my 6 blinds and it is AWESOME!! I have never cleaned my blinds so fast and they are really clean. Thank you for this great tip! FYI...I hung mine on my garage door track with the bungee cords.
That's working smarter and not harder. Thanks for this.
I can’t thank you enough! I cleaned 15 blinds in under a hour. I did use the pump bottle with mr clean. I couldn’t believe how fast and clean they came out. It also works on the outside windows. I did all 15 at the same time. Thank you again!
Jesús Christ dude I’ve been cleaning blinds for like 4 hours now
I was going to put my blinds in the tub as many others have done. But I started thinking it through csrefully before getting started and realized this would likely create another problem, that being what to do with dripping wet blinds that would need to be taken downstairs over champagne beige carpet. If there was the least bit of dirt that did not get rinsed down the drain I would then have dirty soggy carpet. Not good. I tried your method instead. Hung them with bungies on a rod supported by husband’s amplifier stands. WOW! Done in less than 10 minutes even though they had not been thoroughly washed in more than a decade! Look almost brand new! Truly shocking! THANK YOU!
I put mine in the tub and held at an angle for a moment, wrapped in a beach towel and hung in the window like normal with the towel in the window sill for a hour to catch the extra drips while they air dried.
OMG OMG!!!! Thank you!! It worked PERFECTLY for me!!!! You changed my life!!!
This worked great. My elderly mother's kitchen blinds were probably last cleaned decades ago. Really filthy and something had gotten sprayed on them (they are over the sink) and they were covered with splatters. I did have to clean every blade in addition to the spraying and hosing but the job got done without breaking my back and they look great. The hardest part was figuring out how to take down those old blinds. The hardware was unfamiliar. Thanks!
Easy Peasy. Looks like the best way so far. Like the idea of the leaf blower to dry the blind.
I just cleaned my blinds yesterday and I did them all by hand! Wish I had seen this sooner!
I have the vinyl plank blinds that are so hard to clean I have tried everything... What worked was my handheld steam cleaner and of course I sprayed cleaner on the blinds first and then I steam cleaned they came out beautiful!
I think that was an awesome way to clean the blinds. It definitely beats all other methods I have seen & known. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You're a genius, thank you so much for sharing this easy technique. God bless... 👍👏
Very clever! This method was quick and effective. I hung my blinds from a tree branch in the back yard using 2 bungee cords. Thank you for posting this video.
I thank you for the idea of hanging them in the trees ha ha I can do all of them at once. This is a great method
hands down the best blind cleaning video
Hands down the easiest way to clean blinds! I had some filthy blinds and this method made them sparkling white in minutes! I bought the gallon jug at Lowe’s, their price was much better than Amazon! This made a dreaded job SIMPLE! Thank you!
I tried this today and it sure beats putting blinds in the tub like I use to do. I hung them on the steel T-clothesline. I couldn't believe how easy it was. Only difference I still had to get a bucket and rag with some Dawn dishwashing liquid and wipe blinds because they were so dusty and dirty.No more cleaning a dirty tub when done. I want to thank you for sharing.

Spray them with oven cleaner. Let sit for 30 min. Rinse with warm water. No scrubbing!
I haven't taken them down, instead put a towel on the window sill and sprayed them with cleaner, then a few minutes later with water, and wiped them by swiping a cloth down or across (the other side of them) and they're done! Thank you for sharing!
So far I've looked @ 4 methods to clean blinds & provided that I can get them down easily I'm so going w/ your method. Love this video thank you! I do house cleaning & some clients have theirs nailed in & some are easy to remove
Did this today. My blinds were filthy. Not now, great idea, thanks!
I have 8 blinds in my house that have not been cleaned in decades! Going to try this life hack on my blinds this weekend!!!
Oh wow.......you just saved us days of work. We have to do our blinds in our whole house and just decided to youtube it......watched a few videos before we found yours and boy, are we glad we did. This is amazing!! Even bought the same degreaser Mean Green! Thank you so much for sharing this video!! Genius!!
I was trying to find the best tub soak this is great
Yea... Just don't soak for too long if the blind slats are wood
I told my 3rd grader this is his weekend project and he's actually excited about it
gorilla glue why not just say 8 year old..?
@@kimmyymmik I could have said 96 months just to make you lose your mind lol
gorilla glue best reply everrrr! 🤣😂😂 I love it.
I’m gonna add this to my deep clean list for my parents house! They have a bunch of trees and many blinds. They’re coming home after being gone for 8 months and everything has a thick layer of dust and filth.
Fabulous video and instructions on the blinds, have completed 9 of 18 windows. Gas blower for a quik dry works well too. Lowes in my area did not have the Mean Green, however Simple Green seemed to work fine.
The Best video ! It'd obveouse that this is a great cleaner Your blind looks really like new. Thanks going to try this. I've watched lots off video s love this one
Just tried this yesterday? It was very easy and came out really clean!! Once you get your setup not much to it! If you want to hurry it along use a leaf blower to help dry?
Best solution I've seen.
I did this method expect I put an extra shower curtain rod in the shower. Using my hand held shower head I cleaned them. I used to struggle washing them in the tub. It was awful. This is a game changer!!!
You need to clean the underside. It will have dirt and grease as well. It takes me 15 minutes to do a blind. Fully closed then reversed on both sides. Most need a scrub brush as well, especially on the cord near the pull knobs.
I have taken mine off, and scrub bed them in the tub, and then hung them up in the sunshine to dry. Works well, but this seems a little faster. Trying this technique this weekend!
Thanks for sharing! Best method I’ve seen!
May you add the portion that how did you install it back to the window?
This video was so helpful. I have the exact blinds.
Great idea, can't wait to try this in a month or so when it warms up!
Best plan I seen thanks
My wife just told me to do this. I’m trying to negotiate. “Do you know how many blinds we have woman?”
😆😆😆
🤣
Jwh, did you get your Corona Honey dew list done man? lol
During this time, all I see is long lines of men at the local hardware stores working on getting supplies for that list. Or just trying to escape home! lol
She is like: You are at home all day! You have time.
Hope it went well
Same here bro... that’s why I’m Youtubing how to do it… LOL
Thank you for the video! It is the best so far.
I feel like this would be very helpful,but thete are just 3 blinds I want to clean in the small apartment where I leave.I am too lazy to take these 3 blinds down...far less if I lived in a house and had much more to clean...but thank you for that Sir.
409 works great. Gets string clean as well
Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings. JMJ
Mean green is awesome!
I just purchased a home and found the blinds are disgusting! I will be doing this instead of using the tub!
I take mine down hang at top with a bent over clothes hanger and hang on lg twist drapery rod over tub. Spray down with Totally Awesome(recommend using mask) & as soon as I got to bottom I turned hot water shower sprayer on & rinsed. the dirt literally rolls up
I clean my mini blinds like this, and I never saw a video, on how to clean them. I hang mine on the clothes line. Just place the blinds metal frame over the clothes line rope, with the front part of the blinds facing you, and without untying the clothes line rope, wrap the rope over and upward the front ends of the blinds metal frame. This will hold it in its place, without anything else, like a bungee cord.
I'm going to try this out. I used oven cleaner and it came out clean! And mine were filthy!
Great video! I just don't have a place outside to hang the blinds.
same, trying to think of something to rig up. I have two step ladders, maybe I can figure out a contraption to hang them up using those.
@@cryengine_x I was thinking of two ladders as well. Use a broom or mop handle balanced between the two ladders? My bathtubs with showers do not have hand held sprayers, or I'd hand on the shower curtain rod as others have suggested. My stand up shower has a hand held sprayer, but it is a very small shower. The fumes from the cleaner would probably kill me, and I'd be soaked from being in the shower while cleaning.
I don't have any trees. My only other option is to try to figure a way to hang them on my wooden fence, and the sun would dry them.
We have wood blinds and when we moved into our home we could see dust in it and the duster is not cutting it. I have been putting this project off way to long. I think washing them outside will be the quickest and most effective method. I just am worried about how to get my blinds on and off.
Same. I just asked this question a few moments ago. The cleaning part seems straightforward. Did you ever figure a simple way to remove the blinds without breaking anything?
Doesn't this warp the wood? Thanks for posting-I have been cleaning mine the old fashioned way wiping them down with a damp rag or cloth-slat by slat...they never really get clean-lol
Well done! Thank you!
MEAN GREEN IS THE BEST EVER!
Nice one! Going to do it this weekend! Many thanks!!
Excellent!
Its like taking them to a car wash 😊
Is it pretty easy to remove and put back the blinds from the window? The cleaning part seems pretty straightforward. TIA!
Smart choice!
Is there a way to clean blinds on the inside without all the water?
This is great if you can have them outside and spray them afterwards. I cant move mine.
Amazing!
I liove this idea
which hose are you using pls and where did you buy it from? ty💕
But, I'm not unscrewing my blinds from the ceiling just to clean them!? Cant use a hose in the house....
What are those blinds made of?
Wonder if just hosing them down with just water would do the same, -do with false flowers & it takes the dust right off just by the pressure of the water.
Does Mean Green cut through old grease on the blinds?
Great video, thanks!
But how did u get them down from the window?
That's smart, thank you
Good..i like that!👍
Perfect ❤️
Thank you!!!
Can we use jet wash?
Awesome thanks
what if you can't take the blinds off the window to rinse them off???
What about the ones with tape not string.
You have to use a bit of common obviously , tape and water don't really go well together
How do you take the mini blinds down
Helen Chon really?
Seriously?????????
Helen Chon for you Helen. Hire someone. If you have to ask that you are hopeless 😩
Nice!!
I do not have a garage or outside space to clean blinds in this manner 😢
No harm on the wood?
naaa , they will be dry in 20 minutes outside
I've read someone used 409 in the comments. Anybody else use any other spray cleaners? Which ones?
👍
👌👌
Wow!!!
genius
I’m want do this but it feels like you may as well just hose out your house like a public toilet hahahahaha
Awesome is better and cheaper!
We just found out that the previous owners of our house added decorative window frames over the top of the blind casing,so we can’t get any of our blinds out without ripping woodwork off the walls 🙄😩😬.
Horrible...
That $&@# is the bomb 💣
everybody who does this on YT and makes it look so easy doesn't even have dirty blinds. mine are coated in nasty grease layer from years of pan frying steaks, (the greasy smoke seeped throughout the house, I no longer do steaks this way) combined with dirt. Yeah, just dust like you have comes off like a breeze, cus yours arent dirty! Most YT blind cleaning vids are like these, they show off "super easy" method, but all they have is some dust.
In one comment somebody recommended oven cleaner to clean tough blinds. It does seem more like the strength I need, but I'm wondering of will be so toxic it could actually damage my blinds...guess maybe i will spot test it.
Mine are bad enough I looked into replacing them rather than cleaning. However it looks like that would cost a minimum 700 dollars to do all windows (double that easily if I go higher quality), and they'd be lower quality than I have now. So I'm going to clean them, it's a project! The weather is warming though, so I can do this outside soon.
As cheap as these blinds are at Walmart, I would just buy new ones if they are as dirty as you say.
@@dandiercks2109 they're not really cheap the ones in wal mart seem like flimsy junk compared to mine plus how do you get exact sizes? i have a lot of different size windows. but yeah, honestly buying new ones is probably the way to go. online you can buy them cut to any size. but i think it's at least $500 for all the blinds i need.
i found a easy way online in other vids you can use i think bathtub cleaner, take the blinds outside and hang them up. or maybe oven cleaner i forget which lol. any way you slice it it's gonna be a hassle. then you spray them with a high pressure hose nozzle. the oven cleaner does all the work.
@@dandiercks2109 👍
Just used this method and it took grease off the blinds but also stripped off the paint. Be careful.
ر وعه
thats what i do so much easier idk why people make it so difficult ..
To much of a hassle
Sound is terrible, his method is not very good camera bounces around to much
I was just going to throw mine in the tub n use hot water, but in other post on UA-cam a lot of people said getting them this wet will cause the strings to shrink and cause problems. Idk haven't tried anything yet, I have the faux wood type. Anyone have problems if u did it this way or in a tub?
Would this work with wood blinds?
Only once.
