Wood blinds as a window treatment are a costly investment, and since they are wood, they should be cleaned and cared for as if they were fine wood furniture. I have faux-wood blinds hanging at my living room windows, and I clean them just as I would clean aluminum blinds; with Windex and paper towels. True wood blinds are porous, however, and wet cleaning solutions may damage their finish. Think of a wooden dining table. Would you spray it with glass cleaner to clean it? Certainly not! You'd dull the finish and, in some cases, remove the finish entirely if you used household chemicals to clean it. Instead, use wood cleaner to clean your wood binds, and follow these tips:
If your wood blinds are extremely dirty, then you need to remove them from the window to clean them. Follow these steps to clean your wood blinds after removing them from the window:
Never use water or water based cleaning products on wood blinds, as water will cause wood to curve or warp. Each time you dust your furniture, it is a good idea to dust your wood blinds. Don't wait until they have an inch of grime or dust before cleaning them.

That's true that wood can soak up liquids if you aren't careful. I wonder if the blinds in our place are real wood or fake. We should check into that. I would hate to damage them because I wasn't aware. <a href='http://www.qldblinds.com/' > http://www.qldblinds.com/</a>
