Durable Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds on kitchen windows in a modern style at Window Decor of Fairfax near Fairfax, VA

Simple Cleaning Solution for Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

If you favor resilient kitchen blinds that don't skimp on style, Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are your winner. These horizontal blinds are made of durable aluminum, giving your kitchen a clean, modern feel as they manage light and privacy. Their metallic finishes go fabulously alongside stainless-steel appliances.

To clean, grab a microfiber cloth and prepare one part white vinegar and two parts warm water in a bowl or spray bottle. Afterward, grab a new lint-free cloth to dry and polish.

Spot Cleaning EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds

If you love the look of natural wood blinds but need something more practical to withstand a high-traffic kitchen, Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are your best bet. They look identical to real wood, but these blinds comprise materials that withstand humidity and heat without warping or cracking. These blinds shine in kitchens because they’re unfazed by steam from a boiling pot or splashes from the sink.

To clean these blinds, gently wipe each slat with a damp microfiber cloth. Mix some mild dish soap and water solution for tougher messes and apply them with a soft sponge. We highly recommend steering clear of harsh cleaners to avoid damaging the finish.

Additionally, if you've paired these blinds with machine-washable valances for kitchen windows, put them in for a gentle cycle with cold water. However, more delicate valances require a handwash.

Deep Cleaning Somner® Vertical Blinds

For those kitchens with sliding glass doors, we suggest Hunter Douglas Somner® Vertical Blinds. They come in many materials, including vinyl, aluminum, or fabric. You'll want to opt for vinyl for the kitchen because it's the most durable. The moisture resistance and easy operation will impress you and make cleaning them a breeze.

For quick cleanups, either of the above methods white vinegar and warm water or soapy water will do. However, if you need a deeper clean, detach the vinyl slats from the track and submerge each slat in a tub of warm, soapy water. Gently scrub each slat with a soft sponge, rinse with clean water, and air dry.
