When my husband and I moved into our 1924 Colonial Revival, one of our first purchases was custom-made 2" aluminum blinds for our 32 tall windows. Several visitors to our home have asked, "where did you get those old-fashioned blinds!" Seems the world is awash in mini-blinds these days.

A few months later, we had central air installed in the house. All of our once-clean and fairly-new 2" blinds were now covered in super-fine construction dust and they looked like old-fashioned (and filthy) blinds.

I ordered this "Cleaner Brush" from Amazon and was delighted and surprised to see that it works on 2" blinds and that it does a fine and quick job. I'm not sure how you clean it, once it becomes saturated with dust and grit, but I'm guessing a visit with Mr. Vacuum will make it all better.

I prefer this to the traditional blind-cleaning-vacuum-attachment tool, because they're really designed for the smaller 1" mini-blinds.

There is no free lunch. We have many sets of wooden blinds in our home. While this item tries to get the job done, it can not really get all the dust and house hold gunk off the blinds. I don't think anything will take the place of using a damp or dust spray filled rag and wiping each blade at a time. Bummer......but true..

This little gadget looks like a good idea (I must think so, since I bought it), but is a very flawed design. It takes longer to line up the little so-called rollers of this brush on the blinds than it does to wipe the slats with a damp cloth. And bear in mind that you have to line the rollers up at least 3 times per slat.

The instructions that come with the gadget tell you to turn the rollers when they become soiled -- but at least on the brush I bought, only one of the rollers actually turns. The rest just stay put. I'm back to using cleaning cloths with a little window cleaner. I don't want to pitch this gadget because I may find some other use for it. But I don't know what that might be.

It is easier using this to clean my blinds than doing each slate one by one. Also you don't have to take your blinds down to dust them when you use this item.

If you consider pushing the dust on the blinds into the strings of the blinds cleaning, then these will work for you. I have found that if you close the blinds and lightly spray with the appropriate cleaning solution for your blinds and wipe with a cotton cloth, you get much better results. It's quicker too. By the time you line up the slats of the blinds and get them in this thing you could be half way through cleaning one side of the blinds. I don't think this would be good for aluminum blinds because trying to line them up and get them into it may bend or kink them.

good idea but the fingers are placed to tight, making it hard to insert beetween blind. would not recomend this product.

it is very handy and does a good job on the mini blinds and is very sturdy the good part is it's washable
