Is there an easy way to clean Venetian blinds while they are hanging ?

My Venetian blinds get really dirty. Instead of taking them down and washing in the bathtub I would love a way to wash them while they are hanging. Wet wipes work, the soft brushes don't. Any ideas?

    you can use a pair of tongs, wrap the wet ones around the ends and rubber band them at the bottom (towards the handle). now use it to clean the blinds.

    Take an old dry t-shirt. Close the blinds downward. Go side to side. Then top to bottom. Flip to other side. Repeat process. Do this once weekly, clean blinds. This has been the best and easiest way to clean the blinds. Works great.
