So I decided that I better start cleaning and getting ready for Christmas decorating since Thanksgiving is only 5 days away and I like to have the house all decorated for Thanksgiving! I had been jotting down some "thrifty" cleaning tips that I have found online and finally decided to open that gallon of vinegar (seems to be in every recipe for homemade cleaning products!) and tackle my blinds. It was simple: I mixed 3 cups of water and 1 cup of vinegar in a small bucket. I had an old dish towel that I chose to use for cleaning - and I cut it in half.
Keep in mind, I do vacuum my blinds or use that little terry cloth blind cleaner gadget to clean the blinds every so often. Well, you would think that I have never cleaned them after seeing what my rag looked like. I am shocked, impressed, and embarrassed!
Oh... And I should add that this method didn't cause any mess! Each blade wiped clean.

The top rag cleaned 13 blinds and 1 set of vertical blinds.
The bottom rag was never used!
Look how well the vinegar & water solution cleaned! |
