cleaning venetian blinds

[Limeycat]

any ideas as to the best way of tackling this job?

tried doing some of mine yesterday ive decided to move house

just spray some flash or mr muscle kitchen cleaner onto the blind, put on a pair of cotton gloves then run them along each slat, then sray clear water on them and repeat with clean gloves, works perfectly !!!

are they the aluminium/metal ones? if so, take them down, take in the garden, hose them off?

I don't have venetians, but have always wanted some.

take them down spray flash allover them then hose down with garden hose or shower

Mimififi's got it - that's how we clean ours: lay them over the outdoor chairs, dampen with hose, sponge over with plain old dishsoap, rinse thoroughly with hose, turn over and repeat. Do it early on a sunny day and they'll be dry before dinner. Works like a charm.
