How to repair blinds?
I have eight windows and all have blinds. I have to keep replacing them because the wand that opens and closes them stops working. It just turns and turns but the blinds don’t open or close anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this problem without constantly buying new blinds? Thanks for your suggestions.

I'd take one of the blinds down and see if I could figure out what is happening. A lot of mind have had the same problem so I just pinch the middle string and pull up or down depending on whether I am trying to open or close them.

If it continues to happen and they aren't that old take them back for replacements. Could be a defect in the "tilt" mechanism or the brand of blinds.
