Corona Virus Disease is an infectious disease spreading from the coronavirus. The virus started spreading from the Wuhan city of China. At present, there is no available medicine to cure the infection which is spreading day by day. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the coronavirus disease to be a
pandemic affecting the entire population of the world.
The viral disease is communicable and spread from saliva droplets or discharges from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes in front or around you. These droplets land on surfaces and are picked up on the hands of others and spread further.
According to the data released by the World Health Organization (WHO) the virus is spread across 190 countries with 1278498 confirmed cases of COVID 19 positive patients. There have been 69756 confirmed death cases as of now, but the numbers will keep on increasing.
Governments and power holders all across the country have ordered social distancing and self-isolation among their people. Many countries have adopted what Wuhan did. They have initiated lockdowns to reduce the effect of the virus. The lesser the people are in contact with each other, fewer infections will be spread.
Everybody is locked down in their houses. It seems like everybody has gotten a break from their work. We may enjoy the first few days of doing nothing, but after that, we will hate it. Not being able to go out, work, meet friends, etc. will make us lazy, irritated and bored.
To save you from the boredom, we have one of the most ignored household activities for you. In this blog, we will talk about How To Clean Blinds During Corona? We all have window blinds or curtains at home. When was the last time you had washed it or sent it to the laundry? Don’t remember? Don’t worry, you are not the only one! All of us are very hygienic with our pillow covers, bedsheets, floors, ceiling, fans, etc. but we do not think about the curtains or blinds.
How To Clean Blinds During Corona?
WOOD WASH
Wooden or faux - wooden blinds are often considered tough to wash. This quarantine we will simplify it for you and help you make the most of your time. Take a bucket and fill it with warm water and add liquid dish soap. Take a cloth or a clean sock and dip it into the soapy water. Clean the blinds with the cloth. After a few foamy coats, you will see the dirt come off and the blinds becoming cleaner and shinier.
If you have actual wooden blinds, then add a little water or furniture polish applied directly to the cloth or sock. Do not saturate the blinds with lots of liquid because it may damage your material. At last, dry the blinds completely after cleaning for wood or faux – wood blinds.
FABRIC BLINDS CLEANING
Fabric blinds do not show so much of the dirt as much as the other blinds. A vague scrub from a dry cloth may shred required out of the blinds as a part of routine cleaning. In case there is some stain on the blinds then dampen a cloth with soap water and try to rub off the stain gently. The stain will be gone most probably. If it’s a tough stain, then you are required to get your blinds dry cleaned.
CURTAINS
The same can be done with the curtains. The fabric with which the curtains are made of do not stick dirt. If gently scrubbed with a dry cloth, most of the dirt will come out. To give your curtains a fresh and clean look, take them off and wash them as you wash your clothes. You may clean them in a washing machine or by your hands, the choice is yours. Sun-dry the curtain after giving it a good wash. Before putting up the dried curtains, make sure to clean the rods and window panels for a perfect cleaning. Now put the clean curtains on. You will feel so happy to have done something useful.
VINYL BLINDS
If your blinds are intensely plagued by stains, dust and grease (optional) you would want to give it a nice bath. Fill your bucket with warm water and add liquid soap. Place the blinds into the bucket and let it soak in the solution for a few minutes. Take out the blinds and wash it with clear water to get rid of the soapy solution. Once cleaned, you can place your blinds where it was after cleaning the area and around the windows properly.
If the blinds are not so dirty then take a silicon sponge or a dry cloth and rub off the dirt from the blinds and clean it. No use of water is required.
The most important task to do right now is to check on you. The virus does not just spread by the air, but it also spreads from the surface. The droplets fall on the surface and are carried away by the people into their homes, workplaces, grocery store or any other public place, and this is how the chain keeps ongoing. Seems like there is no end to the passing and spreading of the virus.

pathogens. Make your you disinfect your homes and maintain complete hygiene within yourselves.
