Mini blinds are versatile, easy to clean and affordable coverings for high traffic areas. These economical treatments are durable and require only occasional dusting.
The least expensive blinds are manufactured from plastic, vinyl and metal. Choose from 6, 8 or 9 gauge aluminum – the higher the gauge the less chance there is of permanent bending and denting.
A faux wood miniblind is another reasonably priced option while genuine wooden blinds are the most costly.
Mini window blinds can be raised, lowered and tilted to let in sunlight. Perforated slats reduce glare while keeping the view open. An array of textures and finishes as well as color options allows for a custom look.
Sizes range from regular 1” miniblinds to microblinds (½") and macroblinds (2"). Never separate or bend the slats to peek through because once bent they cannot be straightened and the whole thing will need to be restrung and repaired.
Mini blinds can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment. Begin cleaning from the center outward and the top down. Handle carefully by placing your hand on the closed blind while vacuuming. Banging the mini blind against woodwork or itself may cause the paint to chip off.
