Everyone knows that here in Visalia, Fresno and surrounding areas, there is quite a flourishing population. Taking a break from the constant flow of liveliness and the bright California sunshine can be rejuvenating, but private spaces are not always easy to come by!

Even small communities face difficulty when creating their quiet personal retreat. While neighborly love can be a fantastic perk for any community, everyone needs a space they can call their safe haven. Unfortunately, not all homes are equipped to optimize your privacy, and the home improvement suggestions are seemingly endless. One of the simplest solutions to your privacy needs? Window blinds.

Luckily, Broken Drum Insulation of Visalia is a team of experienced, local professionals with the expertise you need. With a proud partnership with A Better Blind and outstanding working relationships with many builders and contractors in the area, we provide a wide range of services, including the replacement and installation of window blinds in your home.

Benefits of Blinds:

• Increased privacy: limits the visibility of the inside of your home to passersby
• Energy efficiency: increased shade can naturally lower room temperatures
• Light filtration: manages the amount of light in your space

Aside from establishing an intimate space, many practical homeowners are looking for a simple way to beat the California heat. Increasing the amount of shade in your home with a beautiful and sensible window blind can actually lower your energy bills.

Let the light soak into your home at the perfect rate. Broken Drum Insulation of Visalia supplies products that are not only the best blinds for privacy, but allow you to take charge of the ambiance of your home.

Privacy Blinds that Let in Light

Style and natural light do not need to be sacrificed for the sake of practicality. While blackout blinds are often what comes to mind when people think of window privacy, they block out more light. If you’re interested in both privacy and light control, blinds with horizontal slats are a great solution.

Also, many homeowners prefer a more polished vibe when improving their interior spaces. The sleek design of high-quality faux wood venetian blinds provides that elegant wooden look combined with an easy-to-clean material. This versatile product works perfectly with windows and doors, giving you the most privacy possible while letting in light and maintaining the cool aesthetic of your home.

Faux wood blinds have the beauty of real wood but the low cost and easy maintenance of composite material and vinyl. However, cleaning still requires care, as incorrect techniques can cause damage!

Cleaning faux wood blinds is easy—just follow the tips below to keep them looking like new for years to come.

How to Clean Faux Wood Blinds

Remove Dust

Dusting once a week helps keep your faux wood blinds clean and beautiful. Here’s how:

• Dust your blinds with a feather duster, microfiber cloth or the brush attachment on your vacuum. Close the blinds and dust this side. Then, reverse the blinds and dust the other side.
• Run a dryer sheet over each slat to help repel dust.

Clean Grime

Sometimes, dust is too caked on to simply whisk it away. In this case, your blinds need a little more scrubbing. Here’s what to do:

• Fill a bucket with warm water and add a teaspoon of mild detergent. Alternatively, you can fill a shallow bowl with white vinegar, an effective natural cleaner. Dip a clean cloth into the soapy water or vinegar and wring most of the water out.
• Close the blinds, and starting in the top left corner, run the wet cloth along one slat at a time. When the cloth gets dirty, rinse it in the bucket and wring it out again. If you come across stubborn stains, pause to scrub them.
• Work your way across and down the blinds until you’ve cleaned every slat. Then, flip the blinds and repeat the process on the other side.
• Dry both sides of the blinds with a clean cloth and run a dryer sheet over each slat to help repel dust.

Deep Clean Faux Wood Blinds

Extremely dirty blinds require deep cleaning. Remember to always stick with mild detergent or white vinegar. Household cleaners and bleach could damage the finish. Here’s how to deep clean faux wood blinds:

• Remove the blinds and lay them on an old sheet.
• Vacuum up loose dust and debris.
• Use the same cleaning technique for removing everyday grime. Because the blinds are laying on the floor, you can really scrub them.
• Dry the blinds thoroughly, re-hang them and run a dryer sheet over each slat to help repel dust.
