The first step is, of course, to remove the vertical blinds. This has to be done carefully so you won't damage the blades. You shouldn't use undue force, just gently lift the top of the blade and unhook them from the tracking system. Fold the blades in half and be careful not to cause any creases in the fabric.

Step 2

Pour cold water in the bath tub, so it will be half full. Pour into the water a quarter of cup of a gentle cleanser and to that you can add, optionally, some liquid detergent or carpet cleaning solution. Stir the water well to dissolve all the substances.

Step 3

Next, you put the blinds in the bath tub and leave them for at least 45 minutes to soak. It is interesting to see how the water changes color, showing how much dirt the blades have accumulated. For the spots that haven't come out just by soaking in the water, use a nail brush. Be careful not to damage the fabric.

Step 4

Pull the plug and let the water from the tub drain. Pour in cold water again to rinse the vertical blinds. After that lift the blades and hold them above a bucket to drain the water in excess. Carry the blades still holding them over the bucket back into the room. This will prevent the water to drip on the floor.

Finally, install the blades back to the tracking system. Use a towel to wipe the blades and leave them in that position. It will take about 30-45 minutes, depending on the material, for the fabric to dry. The whole process will take probably one or two hours, depending on how many blinds you have in the house.
