Hello I would like to know how much do I charge to deep clean blinds ?
I am a housekeeper your videos help I work in a hotel
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You are awesome 👏
Body language is amazing. Best communicator I've seen for teaching anything on youtube. I own a window cleaning business and am considering using blinds as a complimentary/cheap add-on service when someone gets full interior/exterior done.
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and support. Yes, blinds as an add-on is an excellent idea. It is organic to your business - and can be done during the months of the year when it's too cold out to clean windows. I LOVE the idea. Keep me posted, and let me know how it goes. I'm here rooting for you. 👏
Thank you!!! Sidenote your voice sounds like Jodie Foster ❤️ it was really comforting 🤣
Wow, thank you!😊
OMG yes!!
She totally does! lol
It does that’s freaky! (But in a good way)☺️
Omgosh. So right.
I am learning how to be a better cleaner thanks to you! 😊
Me too!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Me too
In the old days I remember my mother washing the blinds in the bathtub about once every year or two. This was in addition to maintenance dusting. When they moved from that house, she never wanted blinds again. :D
I hear you! I have nothing above the kitchen cabinets; it's just too bothersome to regularly clean anything up that high.
Those old metal slats could slice your hand open
My mom washed them in the tub, too.
@@jaxt7197 As newlyweds many moons ago, we installed mini blinds throughout our new home. We didn't have two extra dimes to rub together so when it came time to deep clean them, we took them down and laid them out on an old comforter in the driveway, cleaned them with dish soap and a soft bristle brush, hosed them off and left them to dry in the sun. I came to the same conclusion as your Mom -- no more blinds! :D
I wash mine in the bathtub. I thought I was brilliant 😂
I love learning how to do things properly; thank you Angela for an engaging and thorough explanation -- I'm now emboldened to tackle this job and run through it as fast as you demonstrate.
Angela I just love the way you changed your channel. With products reviews, how to use it those products. So much to learn. Thanks a lot
After watching this video, with new confidence, I cleaned all of my blinds and interior windows! Now, to keep them up bi-weekly. This video is gold. My blinds were bumming me out . . .
That's AWESOME! Way to go Kelly. Clean blinds are an underrated joy. 🙌🙌
Angela I’ve been watching your videos lately and I’m very impressed. I’ve learned a lot . You explain everything so clearly and professionally. Keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them. 😊
Angela Brown You are most welcome! I just wanted you to know that your presentations are very helpful 😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you Angela! Your videos are always so helpful. I hope you keep doing this for a long time.
Thank you for the kind words and the vote of confidence. I appreciate you. 🙏
Dearest Angela, I love my home and I love cleaning and I am so grateful for all your videos that inspire me so much and its such a blessing to learn from a pro like you🤗💕♥️💞also, huge thank you for answering my questions 🌷 God bless you
You are so sweet to write me such kind comments! ❤️ 🤗
Thanks again for another informative video, I do dust my blinds every week, makes life so much easier & you are correct once you set out & do that big blind clean the maintenance part is a doddle.
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Angela, thank you for being a knowledge base for the masses! I had to come here to say that! I want to promote all the channels whose intentions are genuine.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
We charge 35.00 for blinds! I quite enjoy cleaning them. Fake wood thick blinds are my favorite! We clean them once a month along wity ceiling fans and base boards and our clients love it! This is how we clean blinds! Thank you for confirming for me to get housecall pro! I've been debating! You're awesome!! You've got a new subscriber!
HI, do you clean the blinds by hand at this price? Or do you take them down and use a wall?
How long does it take you to clean them please?
Hello you charge $35 per blind?
@@tashajohnson4007 35.00 for the first 4 sets then another 35.00 for another 4 sets. This is to clean with solutions. To dust them is free!
Thank you for the tips! I love the look of the 2in blinds, but hate to clean them. I need to get the krud cleaner!!! I enjoy your videos. Very helpful!
Thanks Angela,
I really put a lot of work into cleaning my blinds last month. I wish I had seen this back then. Now I know I better get on that maintenance!
You are awesome thank you so much for sharing
Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to spend a few minutes here with me and dropping me a line. :-)
So happy I found your page.
You have made my life so much easier 💓
I'm so glad you found it too! Thanks for watching!
Thankyou Angela for your wisdom. You are Numero uno👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Angela! This is the best video I’ve seen on cleaning blinds. I have 35 windows with faux wood blinds, & I would rather have a nosebleed than clean them! UGH! At least now I feel I can attack that big deep cleaning project & then maintain more easily. You turned me on to Krud Kutter awhile back for other projects. Cheers!
Yay! Blinds are manageable once you have them clean. It gets easier from here. Keep me posted, I'm here rooting for you. 👏👏👏
Thank you Angela! You explain everything so clearly…im impressed! Thank you!
You are welcome! And thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciate it!
You are amazing Angela. I'm glad I found your channel.
I’m so glad you found my channel too. 😊
I love this channel. I'm learning so much!
Oh wow, thanks for your kind words and for watching. :-)
Thank you I am learning so much from you? Can't wait to try these tips.
Hooray! Please keep me posted and let me know which tips you try and what works for you best. I'm all ears. :-)
Thanks Angela, showing easy steps to clean blinds. I am learning a lot from you during Lockdown.
Woot Woot! Thanks for watching. Cleaning is really fun if you have the right tools. :-)
Always love your input!!
Krud Kutter is amazing. I scrubbed a door that had marker on it and it wouldn't come out. Then I tried Krud Kutter and it wiped off easily. I couldn't believe it! I used it on base boards like you suggested and it was incredible. Now I can't wait to try it on the OLD mini blinds. Next I'll switch to fake wood. Thanks for the tips and being an amazing teacher to all of us. ♥️
You are so welcome! And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I needed this answer so bad. I have lived in the same place for 2 years and I have never been able to clean them properly. Thank you for this video.
Sure and thanks for dropping me a line. I appreciate you spending a few minutes of your day here with me. :-)
Your videos are the best !
I am actually excited to go and clean my blinds today. Yay! Thanks for the tips. :)
Woot Woot! I am excited for you. Please keep me posted and let me know how it goes. :-)
This is an awesome channel,great advice. Wish I had this year’s ago.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words. :-)
Great information. We have a couple metal mini blinds. We hose them down on the driveway on a warm sunny day. Let them dry as much as possible before bringing back inside. Give a wipe to remove any little drips on both sides. Leave open to completely dry.
Yes, there are ways to do it carefully without bending or breaking off the slats. It sounds like you've found a good way to do it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! My mother in law came to help paint our living room today because we started home renovation projects several months ago and I just found out I’m pregnant so her and my husband didn’t want me on a ladder. Well they had to remove all of the blinds and my mother in law said “Wow, y’all never dust these things.” 😂🤦🏼♀️ sadly I have and I do but only twice a year, but hey I work everyday and I have 2 kids so life is busy! But I figured I come on here to step up my blind cleaning game. So thanks again! I’ll add “blind maintenance” to my to do list every 2 weeks. 😆
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't worry about the blinds for now, let your hubby and mother in law deal with it. Enjoy your pregnancy. 😉
@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you 🙏🏻
With a first time cleaning, I always vacuum with a brush attachment. It removes most of the dust and it also gets into the spots around the strings. This really helps not push the dust around. Then I go over it with a dry microfiber. On a maintenance clean, I use a Swiffer. Most blinds don’t need a cleaning solution on them unless they are in a kitchen or bathroom.
Thanks for sharing your blind cleaning tips : )
I do the same, it seems I have a lot of dust and the vacuum helps before I use the microfiber cloth. Love your videos!
Love your channel and content. Keep up the great work. I am learning so much.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words. You just made my day. :-)
Love this! I love to keep the blinds clean and the window tracks looking like new. You made it look so simple! I just need to speed it up. I've never used the Krud Kutter, just vinegar and water. Love your videos. I always learn so much.
Thanks so much! 😊
Not a fan of cleaning blinds! But I do love plantation blinds
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That Krudcutter seems to do great with cleaning different things. Thanks so much for this video. Most house cleaners charge more for cleaning dirty blinds.
TARR* ADD I have a regular house cleaner who doesn’t do the blinds. When I ask her to do extra things that are not included in the routine clean I always pay her extra. I hope you are being compensated properly. Doing 20 blinds is not part of a routine clean in my opinion unless doing this is worked into the original price!
Wonderful technique, can't wait to try. Thanks
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. Le me know how it goes. 🙂
I just moved into an apartment with blinds (two double window width, four single window width). Since this is a fresh start for me, I want to keep the place clean and clutter-free, but also do things quickly. So, thank you.
I’m routing for you : ) Keep me posted on how things are going with the new place.
Thank you, Angela! I need to deep clean all the blinds in my home and thought, "I bet Angela has a video about the best way to do this". And you did! Yay!!!
Yay! Glad to be helpful!❤
Thank you Angela for your videos, I’m moving up to residential cleaning business. Good tips, I love the way you teach. Thank you.
You are so welcome! So happy for you...you got this!! Wishing you the best and lots of great success!!
🙏❤️
Thank you for the tip.
I love you channel- it’s very informative. I feel like Mrs. Clean.🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words. Feel free to share the video. Sending hugs. 🤗
Thank you! I haven't cleaned my blinds in years, it was embarrassing 😞
I’d love to hear how the blinds turn out after you’ve cleaned them and if my tips were helpful. ❤️
😱Now you can go ahead and clean them with these great steps we just learned I will clean mine this week
jjj
You are awesome Angela !
Thank you so much for your kind words Audrey, I appreciate it! 🤗
Thanks Angela.

Awesome! Thank you Taylor, you just made my day. AND, I want to hear how the apartment deep clean goes. I'm here rooting for you. :-)
You Angela Brown are so damn positive. The way you appear to be the tiny little lady, underneath the sink with all the chemicals surrounding you. Thank you for the great advice, Helps make house cleaning less intimidating. Thank You, you made my day.
Aww, thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate it! 😊
I see ANGELA as a super house cleaner and excellent business woman. Then I visualize her going into a dressing room and emerging looking like a foxy lady . Her hair let down,
make up , etc. It’s a huge compliment. Angela has good bone structure, . She’s a looker. P.s. don’t blush, MS. BROWN.

Hi Angela 👋
Great video 🤩 I used to take the blinds off and soak to them in the tub ugh 😩
But they were metal . Plastic blinds can be difficult with a resido that is stubborn. I'm definitely trying your way it looks a lot faster . Thank you 😊❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙋
@@AskAngelaBrown excellent thank you so much for your help 😇🌻🤗❤️
You have amazing advice on cleaning!
Thank you!! 😊 I love what I do. Thanks for joining me here today. :-)
this worked great! I used two microfiber cloths in each hand, sprayed both cloths with krud kutter so I cleaned both sides of the blinds at the same time.
That’s wonderful!! Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Wow thank you for the awesome tips!!!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I haven't seen much those types of blindes in Europe but watched the whole video to admire how you do everything super profesional :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and feedback.😊
Very great videos and very helpful tips
Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you stopped by. :-)
Such great tips!
I appreciate your kind comment : )
Thank you! This was a real problem in our home. Notice I used the word WAS.
Glad to know it's no longer a problem. Thanks for watching!
Love it! Super helpful.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
I usually soak my kitchen blind in the tub but after a few years the top
started to peel! I find that Clorox wipes help too. I must get that spray c
leaner that you use. Thanks for your input.
So glad I could help : )
Thank you so much for all of your valuable information. Did a deep blind clean the other day. This video would've been very useful!!! 😥😥😥😥
Darn, sorry we were late for you on sharing this information. The good news is you’ll have these tips for the next deep clean : )
Awesome! Great tutorial. I have to clean my blinds.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and happy cleaning!
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching!
Very thorough. I always thought you had to take the blinds all the way down to clean when it's been a long time. I will take a look at that krud kutter.
That’s another way of cleaning them but not always possible. Keep me updated on how you like Krud Kutter. 👍
learning so much thanks. how do you clean decorative metal stair railing dowels?
They can be cleaned with a hand-held steamer. Once clean (inside all those nooks and crannies) you can mainntain them with a Swiffer duster.
Ângela all your demonstrations are very clean places and things. Today alone it took me 40min to clean 2 blinds so bad they were
And now you will be doing demonstrations of cleaning very clean places and things. Woot Woot! Once they are clean they are super easy to maintain. Thanks for watching. 👏👏👏
Great video. Thanks!!
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me here. I appreciate you. 😊
Is funny I just cleaned my moms Blinds on sat,did it like you and had no idea it was the proper way I just saw this video right now😱,what I will do next is buy a swifter to maintain it.Also I love love love the way you explain each step so clear,with such a passion that it makes me get up and go clean even what's clean,thanks so much for helping us be better cleaner👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am so glad you liked my video! Keep me posted on how you like the wood blinds. 🤗

Angela Brown Do you have any videos on which advertiser is the best? I tried Yelp they will over charge you. I’m thinking about using Angies List but I read bad reviews on them...... I didn’t care for thumbtack that much either...... So not sure which one you recommend. Thanks 😊
Enjoy and appreciate your tips. QUESTION: How to clean the blind cords on faux wood blind? Especially without replacing them. Thank you.
You may want to call a blind specialist who has the blind cleaning machines. They do a fantastic job of cleaning and drying those cords that connect the blinds and they look brand new when they are done.
how to clean the blid strings
I hang the blinds from shepherd hooks in the yard. In order to secure them to the shepherd hooks, I tie a length of cord around each end of the header. A strip of velcro also works. Next, I spray both sides of the blind with a de-greaser, and use a scrub brush to clean stubborn spots. Afterward, I rinse both sides with a garden hose then let them drip dry. A clean broom also serves as a good scrubber if the blinds are not too grungy.
Thanks for sharing this tip. 👍
@@AskAngelaBrown Glad I could help. If you don't have shepherd hooks, I would assume the header could be hung from the hooks of a garden swing/glider, using a bit of rope and/or bungee cords if the header is not wide enough to reach the hooks holding the swing. A sturdy tree branch might also serve as a place to hang the blinds. We have an A-Frame in our backyard which was used many years ago to remove an engine from a car. I'm seriously considering trying that out next time instead of setting up the shepherd hooks. The thinner ones tend to bend unless you put two close together.
This was great! What else could I use the Krud cleaner for?
Hi Melissa, so glad you asked. Here's a video I made about it th-cam.com/video/St0gH3Xf2S0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!!!
You're so welcome. 💛💛💛
Thank you
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Love krudcutter!!
Thank you, very very good job..
💘💝
Thank you so much for your feedback and thanks for watching, I appreciate it. 🙂
Great info. Thank you. Do you have any advice on cleaning metal blinds w/ the THICK CLOTH that holds them together in the vertical position? I hope that question makes sense.
Do you mean vertical blinds? th-cam.com/video/RkV6vtJiXG8/w-d-xo.html or are we talking mini metal blinds?
Thank you!!
Welcome!
You are awesome! Thank you :)
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to respond.
Thanks for all excellent information.i enjoy all your videos.
Just I have a question , what product did you use for cleaning them?
Thanks again
You're welcome and thank you for watching the video!
These are the things I used to clean the blinds:
Original Krud Kutter - amzn.to/2YItZz4
Swiffer Duster -= amzn.to/2M1U62z
OXO Deep Cleaning Brush - bit.ly/OXODeepCleanBrush
Terry Cloth - amzn.to/2LYKwO3
Ok i going to follow you idea for cleaning the blinds and will let you know thanks for your vedio
Great, keep us posted! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. We are slowly deep cleaning the blinds in our apartment. No apartment has EVER been properly cleaned when moving in yet the landlords always have the audacity to charge "moving in fees"!!!
You are so welcome! It's a shame that you get charged and things are not cleaned properly.
Good tips👊🇺🇸
You have such good advice. They are usually things I only learn by breaking something. Thanks.
Thank you. 🥰 But I have to be honest - I've broken my fair share of things too. 30 years in the business has granted me a lot of knowledge!
