    Stool? My mother's 83 and she still climbs a stool to clean the top of her dresser, her windows, and, yes, her venetian blinds.

    Well, isn't your mother blessed in both her good health and a wonderful, helpful child?

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments, I will bear them in mind next time I need to climb onto a stool though it might have to wait until after my hospital appointment for my injured knee.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    I can't imagine being able to find a cleaner to come to the house just to do the blinds, other than a specialist. I don't need a cleaner now that I am retired and y.

    The independent cleaners are paid by hour usually. So they wil vlean what u tell them to do. U rr paying. It depends how many blinds u need cleaning every month or so (assuming u dust every now and then). If its a few, cleaner may need couple hours and if itss regular they are willing to come .

    You can get a feather style duster with an extending handle which should reach all your blinds.

    I've wondered about laying them on the floor and running the steam cleaner over them gently - will it work d'ya think?
