To thoroughly clean accumulated grease and dirt from both sides of the panels, they really need to be taken down and scrubbed in a bathtub or shower (getting into the shower yourself makes the task easier).
Most verticals easily snap out of, and back into the clips at the top.
Your vertical blinds can easily be cleaned while hanging. A bucket of hot soapy water and a cloth the size of a wahcloth will do the trick. Clean the very top of your area first, then turn your vertical blinds so you can see out of the window easily, and start at either side washing each vane from top to bottom with the very dampened cloth wrung out from the hot soapy water, insuring each side of the selected vane is clean. Might be good to have another dry cloth to dry each vane as you go. It's time consuming but so worth it when you see and know the blinds are clean.
Here's som info from a website:

I've heard that you can use a dryer sheet or newspaper to clean them easily while hanging!
I have used a watered down cleaner degreaser or Dawn Platinum in a bucket of water. I put down a tarp so the floor would not get wet. I do one sleat at a time and have another bucket of clean water to rinse. No hard just tedious. I have also taken the slats off, but some of the tabs broke, so had to buy new ones. I understand why you do not want to take the slats off.

Hello I wonder if a cleaning wet wipe might be an easy method to consider.
Would a Swiffer Duster help remove some of the dust? I would try the Dawn/vinegar and water method above, too,
Get one of these: https://amzn.to/3ywtI5j and stick all fingers inbetween the slats to dust it! I have one of these and LOVE it!

Are they fabric or plastic? Plastic ones do in place, Fabric ones I would take down and clean in bath tub then hang to dry
If you have a steamer you can try that. If they are vinyl, I would then wipe them down, if they're fabric, then I would use the upholstery tool. You shouldn't have to take them down, actually I've found it easier to do when they're hanging.
