How to Make a Magical DIY Blinds Cleaner With Dollar Store Finds It Really Works

Making a beeline for the nearest Dollar Tree.

In today’s homes, window blinds are practically a staple.

They bring a host of advantages over old-fashioned drapes.

Window blinds provide light control, privacy, design options, durability, and easy maintenance.

On the topic of upkeep how do you usually tackle cleaning your window blinds?

Many resort to washcloths or a trusty vacuum, but could there be a simpler method?

Katie Sottile, owner of the brand that bears her name, revealed her go-to method for cleaning window blinds.

The best part? She’s got not one, but two clever methods both using nothing more than simple finds from Dollar Tree. And honestly, we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Here’s what you will need:

Tongs

2-pack Scrub Buddies Microfiber towels

Rubber bands

Suavitel Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets

Scrub Buddies Deep Cleaning Wet Sweeper Pad Refills

Scissors

The first step is to cut your microfiber towel into two pieces.

Then fold an inch and place one head of the tong on the folded part.

Now, wrap your tong with the microfiber towel.

Get two elastic bands and secure both the upper and lower part.

Repeat the process on the second head of the tong.

This will become your cleaning foundation.

Let’s start with Option 1 – The Dry Mop

Grab a single Suavitel dryer sheet.

Slice it cleanly down the center to create two smaller sheets.

Take one, drape it snugly over one side of your tongs, and fasten it securely with elastic bands.

Do the same on the second head of the tong.

Katie began by giving the blinds a thorough cleaning, effortlessly demonstrating the simplicity of the task.

She mentioned that using dryer sheets not only makes the job a breeze but also leaves behind an incredible fragrance.

It was clearly demonstrated just how effortlessly the dryer sheets whisk away accumulated grime from the blinds.

While lifting away the dirt, they also impart a delightful fragrance you’re bound to adore.

Simply repeat the process as often as needed.

Let’s move on to Option 2 – The Wet Mop

Take one Scrub Buddies Deep Cleaning Wet Sweeper Pad Refill.

Slice it neatly down the middle to create two handy pads.

Much like the first method, simply wrap one pad securely around the head of your tongs.

Secure with an elastic band.

Do the same with the other tong head, and that’s it.

Katie uses the same method of cleaning her window blinds, but this time, since the sheets are wet, she was able to get more dust.

Katie’s Tips:

• Since the materials are cheap, you can use many sheets as you need, and you just have to throw them after you’re done.
• You’ll clean your window blinds easily. You no longer need to use gloves or have a hard time cleaning that hard-to-reach places.
• These sheets already contain fragrance and cleaning solutions. This means your window will already be really clean.

What’s truly admirable about Katie’s approach is its simplicity, affordability, and ease.

It turns cleaning your window blinds into a task that’s not only effective but genuinely enjoyable and one you can tackle as often as you’d like.

Katie sticks with this same method for her blinds; though with the dampened sheets this time, she effortlessly collects even more dust.
