Plastic or wood mini-blinds are an inexpensive window treatment. But they are also a bit of a pain to clean. Many methods involve taking them down. But I really don’t have time for that. Here’s an easy, effective and fairly quick way to clean them. Get an old pair of socks and put them on your hands. Spray the socks with a little mild soap dissolved in water. Hold each blind in your sock-puppeted hands and go back and forth until it’s clean.
