#### Step 2: Grab a Sock

Slip a clean sock over your hand (like a glove). Dip it lightly into the solution and wring out the excess. You want it damp, not dripping.

#### Step 3: Swipe and Shine

With your sock-covered hand, **pinch each slat** of the blind between your fingers and run it across. Dust and grime will lift right off — effortlessly.

Repeat as needed. The whole process takes **2 minutes or less per window**. No rinsing required!

### ✨ Why This Hack Works So Well

* **Vinegar** breaks down built-up grime and disinfects
* **Dish soap** cuts through greasy dust
* **The sock** traps dust instead of just spreading it
* **Your hand** fits perfectly around each slat, making cleaning smooth and easy

—

### 🪟 Bonus Tips

* Do this once a week to prevent buildup — it gets easier every time.
* For **real wood blinds**, use a wood-safe cleaner or skip the vinegar.
* Use a **dry sock** for a quick dust-only swipe between deeper cleans.
