The dust sticks to the grease, and the grease is very hard to remove with all the usual stuff. So we tried an aerosol pack of car engine de-greaser. You can leave the blinds in the window. Just close them with the top side towards you, and spray all over with de-greaser. Leave for 5 - 10 minutes, and wash over with warm water, using a dish-brush or similar.

After drying I wiped with fabric softener sheets which helps keep them cleaner longer.

Good enough. Couldn’t get the blind down, so lined the sill with newsprint, made a spray solution of cleaning liquid and water and sprayed, wiped and rinsed with sponge. 90% successful. Good enough.

Then let them dry in the air and rehang. Works well. I hang my blinds on nails on the side of the shed and use a car wash brush and Dawn dish soap and water. Then let them dry in the air and rehang.

Use rubber gloves. Hang the top of the blind outside over a clothesline when there is at least a few hours of sunlight remaining. Use an old washcloth and scrub bucket. Fill half the bucket with hot water and add approx. 1/8th cup of Spic N Span. Mix the contents. Starting at the top of the blind generously wipe the blind on one side then the other until clean. Rinse with a garden hose and allow to air dry. This process makes the blind stay cleaner than just dusting it. How to clean metal venetian blinds. Use rubber gloves.
