Pro Tip
  • Blinds help control your home’s temperature + maintain privacy, but they also collect dust and grime. Vacuum closed blinds with an upholstery brush, then open them and vacuum the underside. For a deeper clean, wipe each blade with a microfiber cloth, or call Two Maids of Greenville at 864-626-3343.*
