Cleaning blinds can be tricky because dust clings to every slat and access to each one is often awkward. A practical, low cost solution is to repurpose an old sock for the job. Before discarding used socks, they should be considered useful cleaning tools. Cotton socks, in particular, excel at trapping dust and debris. Here is a detailed method on how to use them effectively.

How to clean very dirty blinds with an old (but clean) sock
-
Preparation: Find one clean old sock made from material that attracts dust, preferably cotton.
-
Prepare the cleaning mixture: Create a simple solution with warm water and a touch of mild soap. Fill a bowl with water, add a few drops of soap, and mix until it foams lightly.
-
Prepare the sock: Slip the hand into the sock like a glove, then submerge the sock in the soapy water. Ensure the sock is thoroughly saturated.
-
Clean the blinds: Move the sock along each slat from the top downward. The fabric collects dust and dirt on both sides of the slats, delivering a gentle scrub with every pass.
-
Rinse and repeat: When the sock becomes dirty, rinse it in the soapy water and wring out the excess. Repeat until every slat looks cleaner and less dusty.
-
Drying: After cleaning, switch to a dry sock or a soft cloth to dry the slats. This helps prevent water spots and streaks on glossy or smooth finishes.
-
Disposal: When the job is complete, discard the used socks as one would any other cleansing cloth. A single sock can serve multiple blinds if kept clean between uses.

Does the old sock trick apply to all blinds
This method proves handy for vinyl or faux wood blinds. When dealing with real wood, moisture should be kept to a minimum. A barely damp sock can be used to wipe the slats, followed by prompt drying to prevent warping or watermarks. The approach still delivers a thorough clean while minimizing any risk to the wood finish.
