Has anyone figured out a way to clean the blinds - cleaner/method? They're so flexible :-)
Was thinking of filling the window behind with a folded up blanket or something.

    Chloride wipes don't work for squashed bugs on the blinds. That was all I tried yesterday.

    Q-tips and alcohol from the outside with the window up? Or maybe get a foam brush with alcohol--that would cover more area quicker.

    Both sides actually need it - The problem is they're so flimsy it's hard to get and scrubbing action or pressure on them.

    What about some kind of pump sprayer thingy, like the ones Verna and Jenn use for dishes. You could spray them from the inside, pushing them off that way? Other more drastic option is to buy a new T@B...:-)

    I have successfully used them on bugs - it must depend on the type of bug. :)
