Is your Austin, Texas home dirty?

But window blinds are also notorious for collecting dust, dirt, dander- you name it! They often need to be cleaned, and it’s not the easiest chore in the world as the blinds usually need to be removed from the wall.

We offer rug cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, air duct cleaning, carpet cleaning and fire and water damage. Call your Austin, Texas cleaning headquarters at 512-451-8326. 

Dry Dusting

This method is likely the most laborious, as it involves cleaning each slat by hand. But sometimes it must be done! Use a microfiber or dust cloth to wipe each slat over a couple of times, removing all dust and dirt. Use your vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the dust that falls from your cloth, or misses altogether!

Vacuuming

If your vacuum cleaner has an upholstery attachment, then you’re in luck! Use it to vacuum the dust off of your window blinds; it’s much easier than wiping each one individually.

Tub Washing

For this method, you’ll have to remove your window blinds from where they hang, and lie them in your bathtub. Fill the tub with warm water and a mixture of your favorite cleaning detergent, and scrub each slat from side to side. It certainly requires a lot of back work, but definitely gives you a more effective clean than merely dusting!

Steam Cleaning

The Steam Team can clean your window blinds without even removing them from where they hang! We’ll effectively remove that dust and grime from the slats, and they’ll look good as new when we’re finished! You can count on us for a job well done. We also service Round Rock Texas for carpet cleaning and water damage.
