## 🕒 Step-by-Step: How to Clean Blinds Without Removing Them

### 🪞 Step 1: Close the Blinds

### 🧹 Step 2: Dust Dry First

Use a **microfiber cloth**, **old sock**, or **vacuum cleaner brush attachment** to wipe away loose dust and debris.

* Work **top to bottom**, slat by slat.
* If blinds are really dusty, vacuuming first will prevent smearing.

> 💡 **Tip:** Slip a sock over your hand for better grip and control.

### 🧴 Step 3: Make a Simple Cleaning Solution

Mix this gentle but effective cleaner:

* 1 part **white vinegar**
* 1 part **warm water**

Pour into a **spray bottle** and shake well.

### 🧽 Step 4: Wipe With the Damp Cloth

* For sticky spots, apply a little extra pressure or go over twice.
