Advantages of faux wood blinds
Because faux wood blinds aren’t made from hardwood, they are eco-friendly and inexpensive. They also have many other benefits over hardwood blinds. Unlike wood, they are water resistant. That means they can be put in a bathroom or above your kitchen sink. You don’t have to worry about them warping from moisture. They are also very low maintenance and easy to clean.
Tips for how to clean faux wood blinds
To clean your faux wood blinds, you should dust them first. You can use a simple feather duster. Or, there are dusters designed specifically for window treatments that can clean more than one slat at a time. You can use an old toothbrush to clean hard to reach spots. Another good way to get dust out of all the small corners is to put an old sock on your hand and dust them off that way. If you want to remove even more dust, you can use a dust buster or a hose attachment on your vacuum. Once you’re finished dusting, you can wipe down the faux wood blinds with a dryer sheet. This helps to prevent dust from building up in the future.
Because faux wood blinds don’t warp with water like hardwood blinds do, you can use water to clean them. We don’t recommend using a lot of water, just a damp cloth. If there are stains, you can use a small amount of white vinegar to gently wipe down the stains until they are gone. If you really want to freshen up your faux wood blinds, you can use furniture polish to make them shine.
