Duster for Cleaning Custom Mini Blinds
Cleaning wooden blinds isn’t anywhere close to the top of my list of favorite things to do. In fact, I do all I can to avoid it. But spring cleaning, whether I like it or not, is here. Let’s make cleaning mini blinds as easy as possible, mmkay? In our home we have pre-made faux-wood blinds from Lowe’s, but this duster would work perfect on custom blinds as well.
Use it with or without tongs, I personally like to use my fingers and make sure I’m really getting in there.
Materials:
Size H Crochet hook
Cotton yarn
Upholstery needle for weaving in ends
Crochet terms and notes:
FLO = front loop only
BLO = back loop only
The chain at the beginning of the row does NOT count as a stitch. Start each new row in the same st as join. See all crochet terms explained here.
Pattern:
Make two…
Round 1: Magic circle, ch-2, 8 dc in circle. Join to top of first dc and pull circle closed.
Round 2: Ch-1, sl st in FLO of first st, ch-3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next. * sl st in FLO of first st, ch-3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next * Repeat between * * 6 times. Join to top of first st with sl st. (8 phalanges made)
Round 3: Ch-2, 2dc in BLO of each st from round 2. Join to top of first dc with sl st (16 sts)
Round 4: Ch-1, sl st in FLO of first st, ch-3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next. * sl st in FLO of first st, ch-3, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in next * Repeat between * * 14 times. Join to top of first st with sl st.(16 phalanges made)
Round 5: Ch-2, * dc in BLO of each st from round 4. around. Join to top of first dc with sl st (16 sts)
Repeat rows 4 & 5 three more times
Round 12: Ch-2, dc in each st around. Join to top of first dc with sl st (16 sts)
When finished with the second, do not fasten off. Continue to strap…
Row 1: Ch-2, dc in next 6 sts.
Rows 2 & 3: Ch-2, turn. Dc in each st across.
Fasten off leaving long tail.
Use the tail to sew the two sides together. Weave in ends. Done!
I love so much about this duster for blinds. I love that I can throw the duster in the washer when I’m finished, unlike the commercial duster available on the market. I also love that I can use tongs if I like or my fingers and thumb as well. I am going to use my Window Cleaning Spray recipe to get the cotton fabric a little moist (yes, moist 😉 ) before wiping them down. Isn’t this just the best way to clean blinds?! High five, friend.
