The blinds arrived in good condition, fit the windows perfectly and were easy to install, but.... out of the 12 I ordered, 5 were filthy! They had a gray dusty film all over the slats. They washed off ok with 409 but it took me over 5 hours to wipe them all down! Not what I wanted or planned to do with brand new blinds! I didn't notice the dirt until they were installed as I didn't lower them until then. The windows were spotless and the trim was newly painted, so the dirt had to come from inside the package.
One of my least favorite things to do is cleaning blinds. If I had realized how much work it would to make them look decent I may not have ordered them. If I ever order more, I will inspect the slats before hanging them and send them right back if they're dirty!
