I need advice on cleaning blinds. The bathtub is out. I have bad knees. HELP!
If they are plastic, fill a sink with dawn and hot water. Swish them around or soak for a half hour or so. If they are silk, this will help.

I use Endust on a tag on the leaves of my artificial plants on a regular basis. Several of my arrangements have flowers, which I swish in a sissy solution, then spray rinse and hang to dry. This works best with my plastic orchids, I would NOT try it with fabric flowers, as they will wilt or even disintegrate! I take these flowers outside and give them a good shake, hopefully getting any dust off the petals.
I take mine outside and pressure wash them
I only have one artificial plant, an ivy. I stick it in the sink and sprinkle d.w. detergent all over it and then give it a good spraying and hang outdoors.
Swish them upside down in soapy water. I use dish soap. Then rinse and dry in the sun. Do it on a day with sun and a breeze for quicker drying.
Canned air -- or any pressurized air and a soft cloth to remove what the air doesn't. Probably should be done outside if the plants are very dusty.
I put mine in the shower and spray them down.
Take them outside and spray them with a hose. You might use a little spray bottle with liquid soap and water mixture to loosen the dust. Rinse with hose on shower setting.
This won't work on silk flowers.
I was always told to put them in a pillow case with a damp cloth or dryer sheet if it’s notvto bad and tumble them for 5-10 mins on cool. I’ve kept mine looking like new for years doing this. I hope you get good results! �
Hairdos leaves a sticky residue, and would attract dust rather than get rid of it. Sudsy water or endust on a rag works best
A friend of mine sprays the leaves with mild solution of Dawn and warm water; rinse in the shower or outside with garden hose; shake well; put in the sun to dry on a nice sunny day.
There is a spray you can get at hardware stores that you spray on and then shake off.
