How to Enjoy Your Window Blinds?
Everyone recognizes window blinds for their convenience and effectiveness as a window covering, but it is time to learn to enjoy those window blinds. Old fashioned blinds were thick 4 slats made of metal and sometimes were difficult to use. They looked rather clinical and were heavy. Most were mounted at the top of the window.Today, there is a great variety of window blind styles. One of their best features is the ability to control lighting in a room by adjusting the angle of the slats. Set the slats tilted down to close out light and darken a room. Set them at an upwards angle to benefit from a wonderful diffused bounce lighting effect.When window blinds feature vertical, rather than horizontal slats, the tall vertical slats can be adjusted to either side or in the middle to allow lighting into a room. If the sun is on the right side of the window, adjust the slats to block the direct sun but allow light to come in from the other side. This prevents sun fading on rugs or furniture and still allows plenty of light into the room.Some horizontal window blinds are set like a roller shade to roll up or down. This is a way to control light and privacy in a room. The vertical blinds can be opened from the center or pull to either side. This allows for privacy and light control.Slats have improved over the years, moving away from metal and into plastic, vinyl, wooden or fabric covered slats. There are lightweight translucent slats for maximum lighting. Fabric covered and wooden slats provide the maximum effect for insulation, sound control and room darkening. Thin and colored slats give a modern decorator look to rooms.Window blinds can be mounted within a window or outside the frame to make a window seem larger. They can be full length to the floor even over a shorter, higher window area. This also makes the window area seem to be larger than it actually is. Some very wide window blinds have an automatic mechanism for rolling them up with ease. Enjoy window blinds and their versatility!

What products are on the market for cleaning window blinds?
One of the simplest things is to take the blinds down and soak them in a tub with a bit of bleach added to warm water. After leaving them in for awhile you can simply wipe them off. You can also spray them with chlorox cleanup and then wipe them off. The best way to keep window blinds clean is to regularly dust them and wipe the individual slats with a soft cloth that has been treated to pick up and hold the dust. Mini-blinds are difficult to clean once dirt and dust has been allowed to build up. A number of cleaning services will come out and remove the blinds and place them in a tank of cleaning solution that literally vibrates the dirt off the blinds. Some people even opt for new blinds, rather than to bother cleaning the old ones. So either hire a pro to get existing binds in top shape, or start over with new ones, and then at least once a week, use the brush attachment on the vacuum and clean the slats, top to bottom.
