    Thank you so much! I have 10 windows in my living room alone. I had finished 3 windows when I decided to Google "cleaning venetian blinds without taking them down." I have no bathtub (just had a modern bathroom installed), and this method saved my life. Finished the other 7 windows in record time. They are sparkling clean.

    The method that works best for my cleaning of blinds is using Clorox wipes. The wipes do a superb job of cleaning and I can get in between the strings that support the blinds structure as well as do both sides at once. I just grip the wipes by my hands. Everything smells very clean and sterile. Cleaning goes very quickly.

    This is ok for a once a week dusting but to really clean them, soak them in the tub with hot water & a little Dawn dish liquid, wipe ‘em with a sponge then rinse off with the shower wand. To dry hang ‘em over a patio chair outside in the sun. You can do several at a time🤷🏻‍♀️

However, I love the tongs method for cleaning blinds this is the most practical I've seen in my search. This is the video I was looking for, thank you, my search is over.
