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.
