    Use a mild detergent or soap with a microfiber rag to blot up any messes on your fabric vertical blinds. Just make sure to hold and support the blinds as you clean them so they don't get pulled off the track!

    Check the care label to see what the washing settings are. In some cases, you can launder them the same way as a comforter cover.

    Typically, yes, but that's probably more work than is necessary. I'd recommend just leaving the blinds on the rod and using a steam cleaner to get them clean. That's going to be a lot easier and efficient than washing them.

    No, just crack a window open and let them air dry. You don't need to manually do anything here.

    Oxyclean is a great option. Get it in a spray bottle and just spritz the stains per the instructions on the label.
