My mini blinds need a good cleaning. I was thinking of taking them down and soaking them in the tub with a mild soap solution. Does anyone have any comments/suggestions/advice for me before I do this?

We used to do just as you say when I was growing up. I hated doing it because we would get little cuts from the blinds. I hang my blinds (though they are vinyl) on a clothesline, spray them with a bottle of soap solution (dish soap with water and a little vinegar) and then rinse with the hose. I use a rag for any tough spots. I have also heard you can do this in the shower if you have a hose type shower head. I would think it would work just as well with aluminum blinds. If you do put the blinds ina a tub, be careful how you put them in so you can just pull them out without getting them tangled.

That's what I do, once a year: I put them in a tub filled with hot water with 409 in it. I then just use a towel to dry them.

They do have special hooks so you can hang them in the shower and spray them down. Check Wal-Mart. It seems they would be carry something like this.
