🛠️ Why Blinds Collect So Much Dust (And Why You Should Care)
Blinds are dust magnets.
They sit in direct airflow.
They’re hard to reach.
And they have tiny slats and crevices where dust, pet dander, and allergens pile up.
Over time, that dust:
Turns into grime
Attracts more dirt
Can worsen allergies and asthma
So yes — cleaning them matters.
But you don’t need to suffer for clean blinds.
You just need the right tools and techniques.
