Dusting between the slats of the blinds is a tedious task, especially if it has to be done in every room.
The next time you clean, stock up on common kitchen utensils to make this tedious task easier and faster.
One Crazy House home expert shared aawesome hack. This is a free and easy cleanup using items you already have.
"Blinds collect dust like no other, and removing that dust is a daunting task," wrote an expert.
Gather supplies to make things easier. You'll need a microfiber cloth, rubber bands, and your secret weapon: kitchen tongs.
Indeed, experts said, ``I think it's strange to use kitchen utensils to clean windows.''
However, tongs are critical to navigating between the narrow slats of the blind without missing pockets of dust.
"Wrap a rag neatly around each side of the tongs, each of which he secures with two rubber bands," said the expert.
Look at the cloth to determine where the "right side" is. There should be a "smooth" side and a "bumpy" side of the dough. The latter are better at attracting dust.
"For the most effective dusting, make sure the smooth side of the cloth faces inwards and the seam is on the side or back," explained the expert.
Once the cloth has hardened, it's time to dust.
Slide a tong around each slat of the blind and move it back and forth slowly to clean both sides of the slat at once.
Experts say, 'Work with one blind until it's clean.' "If it's too dirty, replace the rag."
Start at the top of the window and work your way down. This way, you can clean the dust that falls from hard-to-reach places.
For entrenched stains, the cloth can also be sprayed with Multi-Surface His Cleaner if desired.
When finished, take out the rag and put it in the washing machine. Put the tongs through the dishwasher or wash them with soap and hot water.
If you have spare tongs in your kitchen, or find a good bargain at his local 100-yen shop, get the special "cleaning tongs" along with your broom, duster, and other supplies. You can also keep it.
