DIY MAGIC BLINDS CLEANER // Dollar Tree Cleaning Hack

[@dmuser1357]

I have watched a lot of you tubes on cleaning blinds and yours is the BEST. Thank you!

[@JadetheGoober]

Girllllll! You just did something there! God bless you sis ❤️ I would recommend not throwing them away immediately after use. I would use a micro fiber towel with a scented dusting spray to do that part and turn the rag as it gets too dusty. Focusing on one end then the other to make sure to use the whole side of the rag, turn it inside out when one side of the towel is full, etc. just a thought ☺️

[@lacreshaflowers5421]

Exactly and then washing and reusing the microfiber cloths.

[@vlopez47]

Running to the dollar store! I'm always struggling to clean my blinds! Thank you for this diy!

[@KatieSottile]

YES! I really hope you like it! Let me know what you think!!!

[@marybethcarnahan361]

Woooo!! I am so happy I saw this. I have to clean blinds for a friend on Tuesday and using the wet wipes will save me some time and energy.

[@hhholmes714]

You had me at dollar tree💖

[@writersnotes1292]

Same here lol!!

[@aprilstender3415]

I'm going tomorrow to Dollar tree to pick up this stuff. Great way to clean blinds. Can't wait to try it.

[@bballmomma5900]

I’ve found someone else who loves the Suavitel scent! The liquid softener smell is the best!

[@masemarod442]

Dude! This one looks like something I would try. Already got tongs and bands. The tongs with cloth banded around them just makes sense!

[@pkeele]

You and the hacks! This looks like a good one to try next time I clean me some blinds.

[@KatieSottile]

hahahahahaha- RIGHT?! The hacks just keep finding me ;) LOL.

[@keywestjoanholefeldergaine4069]

I like the thong method. Think ill give it a try. I use the dryer sheets. I Hold blind w/ L hand. + have dryer sheet between thumb + foreFinger while going across each blind. Still a pain in the arse. My windows are too ugly to just put up curtains😶😵😵😵

[@vickyjohnson7172]

I like the ability to change towelettes during the job.

[@realpristine]

So easy!! Heading to the dollar store now!

[@natashawilliams4405]

I’m going to dollar tree tomorrow. Thank you so much. Love this video.

[@kimbrower7242]

Great idea. I am definitely going to try this. For my kitchen blinds

[@MultiLisa10]

Unbeleivable! I always avoid cleaning those blinds because of it being a pain in the a** and it takes me all day to clean them so thank you for the "cure" of dirty blinds!!😖 I'll be doing this before my Christmas party!☺

[@lovelylily1078]

Tackling this crap today! You are an 👼 angel 😇. Great ideas!

[@augustine.c8204]

it seemed like a neat idea at first, (and maybe I'm slow/ picky/ both) BUT using this method made me take at least 1 hour for each set of blinds, and cleaning 5 sets of blinds today (3 full length, 2 shorter ones) took me a total of 7.5 hours. They haven't been cleaned for 2.5 years, but still it was insanely exhausting (and depressing). Recommend taking them down and just using a hose to wash the dust and dirt off.

[@monkeyman8265]

At that point just buy new ones

[@XoJuliana]

Yassss girl!!! Suavitel is the BOMB!!!! And I need to do this for my blinds...genius!

[@KatieSottile]

Isn't it?! I love that stuff!!!

[@kimmig486]

Dang girl lov this tip I guess u know what I'll be doin this weekend keep the great tips coming 😎💙

[@KatieSottile]

Thanks Kim! Hope it works well for you too!

[@TheKingFamilyVlogs]

We just did a power hour the other day and didn't get to cleaning the blinds. At first I was bummed, but now I am excited that my blinds are still dirty so I can use this hack! LOL!

[@tammiegainey1591]

Great idea! I dust with dryer sheets too. They work amazing. Funny story, we actually check our retail stores dumpsters because for some reason they throw all kinds of new things away. I need to make a video on this because we have gotten so much nice for free. No shame it's fun. But, my husband the other day checked the dollar tree one and they thru away a whole box of those brand new wet wipes packages. I need to send you some😊Great video girly💖have a wonderful day.

[@KatieSottile]

+omg! That is AMAZING! I totally want to dumpster dive now!!Tammie Gainey

[@NextLevelMeNow]

Wow! Me too!!

[@CamilleP505]

I am definitely going to try this. I normally just get a bowl of water and cleaner and use a wash cloth. I absolutely hate doing it that way it takes forever so I tend to not clean them often. This is a LIFE CHANGER!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@KatieSottile]

+LiveLove&Glitter haha! I hope it works out for you too! Thanks for watching 🤣

[@bellavida7129]

You can get a pre made one for about $5 bucks in several places. Many have a removable washable microfiber attachment so in the end it’s more economical and no waste.

[@P2Psolved]

I bought one of those and they don't work all that great because with tongs you can exert much more pressure to get the dirt off instead of spreading it around. I'm going to try dryer sheets.

[@robwhitmore4369]

I'm trying dryer sheets

[@crazycleaningmamavlogs]

This is awesome! Seriously need to go clean my blinds now

[@KatieSottile]

hahaha! I need to FINISH cleaning mine now too! Good luck!!

[@dawnreid2545]

Shut the front door!!! Where has this been all my life (adult life anyways lol) that is such a great hack! I will be trying this when I get home 😬 have a great Wednesday Katie!! Love from Mississippi 💕

[@christinacarrasco7080]

You are a GODESS! Thank you!

[@jananipurushothaman9269]

I like the tong method I will give it a try , thanks.

[@lilaluvjakes]

Thanks so much for this! This is such a practical & awesome tip! Love it.

[@katyp5914]

Thank goodness I found this! Awesome and simple remedy!!!!💯😁

[@meaghans4591]

Clorox wipes are better and faster abrasive or regular tong idea 💡 is awesome 👏

[@KatieSottile]

😘

[@textilady]

Brilliant! Thanks for the idea!

[@americanwoman4795]

I was stressing over cleaning everything in my home especially the blinds as I have 15 blinds with 8 of them being the size of large picture windows.. I'm 5ft 1 on a good day so anything to help me clean faster and better is a plus.. I've got everything I need in my home now as I watch the video. I am missing Rubber Bands, so when the stores open guess who will be inline with a ball of Rubber bands!. I'll probably get a couple extra couple pair of long tongs so I can store them in the front and back of my home as it is rather time consuming running from the front to the back of the house. My blinds are all the smaller width of blinds so we will see how well I can do this without bending the little panels. Is there anything you can put on the blinds to help repel the dust? I will give a look at your video's to see if there are anymore easier ways to do things.. I have a ton of those Swifter dry and Wet Pads but other than wiping up what little space I have that isn't carpet, they aren't used much at all.. So will do all the above with the Swifter products I really do need to use up.. Thanks Katie for an enlightening early morning tip...:)

[@crownofdestiny4267]

Very innovative. You help people so much.

[@KatieSottile]

+awwww THANK YOU!!! Your are so encouraging! Lady Lauren GlitterSparkles

[@DianaReyes-ch6jn]

[@KatieSottile]

[@ebertmadwoman]

Could also clean ceiling fans with this too.

[@chelleg5370]

Girl this is a great idea! I've got to try this out!!

[@KatieSottile]

Hope you like it!

[@daniellemnvlogs]

Great idea!! Dusting the blinds is such a pain!

[@KatieSottile]

+I totally agree with you!!! It's so time consuming!!daniellemnvlogs

[@NextLevelMeNow]

This is really cute. Question, is this easier than just wiping with a wet microfiber towel with my hands (like using the same wrapping method of top and bottom of the blinds, by sandwiching the blind with the towel the same way you did with the tongs). Is this somehow faster or more effective, or just fun? Thank you

[@patriciashaw7857]

Like it for convenience. Not so much for environment and health. (Developmental neurotoxins and other harmful substances might be in your dryer sheets, lots of little wipes for the landfill.) Wonder if you could just spray white vinegar with a bit of dish soap (scent free) on microfiber. Or dish soap first , then follow with vinegar . Takes longer but ok with me. The tongs are a great idea. Going to try that aspect.

[@tonimccleary5497]

I get so excited when I see that you've posted a new video!! I'm going to try this ASAP! 💪🏼

[@KatieSottile]

+aw, thank you for saying that!!! It's very encouraging! Toni McCleary

So clever! Definitely trying this out! Thank you for all the cleaning inspo & good vibes 🎉💖 You & the other cleaning/lifestyle channels have really helped me get my -ish together! My house has never been cleaner & I finally feel like I have a good routine. I had company drop in unexpectedly & it was SO nice not panicking about how the house looked. I'm tempted to start filming too since you make it look so fun! 😍✨✨✨

[@KatieSottile]

That is such a great comment to read! Thanks for letting me know! I feel like getting a good routine down helps so much. I will pass this comment along to some of my cleaning youtube friends. :)

[@nanalmostyoung]

So sorry you made this video, now I remembered that I have very dirty blinds! Oh well you gave me a great way to clean them. Thanks.

[@KatieSottile]

+haha! Good luck getting them all clean!!! 🤣sheila Di Fonzo

[@cmcclure67]

What a great idea! I have the mini blinds in my apt and I'm wondering, Katie, what you can suggest for me to clean them in a similar fashion?

[@jacquipayne7346]

Yes! What do you do foe the really skinny ones? Less micro fiber towels?

[@valerieramirez8736]

[@hrdman2luv]

I can't imagine how many times one would have to change the wipes. That would take forever cutting and reapplying wipes on the tongs.

[@brandibadeaux1139]

Hi I love that! But I can't find an easy way to clean the long blinds ...can u help??

[@wilheminaboone1107]

[@glorialagroon6171]

Hi Katie, when doing this do you use the same sheet or do you have to be changing it every couple/ few( sry don't know what they are called) rows of the blinds? Silly question, haha! Thanks for sharing this great DIY!

[@ObxVaGirl]

[@carrieallen2047]

Why the microfiber towers couldn't you just use any rag?

[@oviedo2912]

Genius!

[@bobbiolah2320]

They should have 4 layer tong's..

[@michelleh.6363]

Blinds are nice window treatments but Ugh, cleaning them 👎 but I will try this😜

It's so tedious! I totally agree!!!

[@MyKitchenCorner]

BRILLIANT....

[@cupcakecups9112]

[@giggler630]

That is so much better than that time I declared defeat and just sprayed the blinds with the kids water gun.... :)

[@KatieSottile]

hahahaha!!! That is amazing! I love that idea ;)

[@laurenbryant83]

Genius!!

[@KatieSottile]

haha, thank you so much!!!

[@realtalkkimg4519]

Wow, thx

[@michellefoster4260]

It look's like a good Ideal, my concern with your method, look's like after every few individual blind slabs, you'll have to throw away the softener sheet's that right there is a waste of sheet's especially if you have a lot of blind's to do. I'll past with this method.

[@RenzoP3]

dryer sheets at the dollar tree are super cheap. It's not too bad of an investment for a first time cleaning. Maintenance after that shouldn't be too bad, You probably can just use a duster if you clean then regularly moving forward.

[@PageDanielle]

I'm stealing this. Lol

[@KatieSottile]

YESSSSS Page! Do it! Let me know if it works for you!

Blah. So dirty so real lol my blinds are neglected too I dust them when I'm dusting but don't really pay too much attention to them!

[@KatieSottile]

+I need to clean mine more often! As you can tell 😉😉THE WADS

[@eclecticraeen]

Okay but I don't have those kind of blinds 😭

[@ab_figs]

Goodluck cleaning each blind for the entire house 🤨😪😪😪😪

[@temirodirt]

Complete rubbish, you would have to replace the wipes for every single blind or all your doing is transferring the dirt from one to the next. Just my point of view as a professional cleaner.

[@audreysullivan5141]

temirodirt i agree with u on that about having to change the wipes some good tips also about having a nice smell in kitchen&fridge ....

[@marydonald3453]

But you only cleaned one blind, and not even all the way across. I thought you wanted to keep it real. I'm just not convinced. Sorry.
