For deeper cleanings, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid using too much water as it can warp the wood. Remember to clean both sides of the blinds and the cords.

How Much Are Wooden Blinds?

Are Wooden Blinds Better Than Faux Wood?

Both wooden and faux wood blinds have their advantages. Wooden blinds offer a timeless, elegant look and can be an excellent insulator, helping to keep the cold out during winter. They are durable and can last for several years when cared for properly. Faux wood blinds, on the other hand, are typically more affordable and resistant to moisture, making them a good choice for bathrooms or kitchens.
