I have been using the swiffter duster, which works great for getting to each individual blind. It does take a while to do, but it looks good. Then I have a mixture of 1/2 hot water and 1/2 vinegar and spray that on a microfiber towel, and that seems to clean them and it does not leave a sticky residue. I use the vinegar and water solution for a lot of things.
Another way to clean your window blinds is to moisten the finger of a white cotton glove in a solution of egual parts white vinegar and hot tap water. Then simply slide your finger across both sides of each slat to quickly clean them. Periodically rinse the glove in a container of clean water.
You can use vinegar for a lot of things, bathroom cleaning, car care, cooking, furniture care, general housecleaning, kitchen cleaning, laundry care, and pet care.
I love it. If you would like more info. please feel free to email me at ____@____.com luck.

I don't have wood blinds but I would try Murphy Oil wipes. I use them on my wood cabinets and they work awesome and dry beautifully.

I like to use the swiffer duster. I think pledge makes one too. It is nice because they are flexible enough to fit into the wood slats. I like what the other person said about the oil wipes too

Some people swear by using dryer sheets. Picks up the dust and makes the room smell nice.

The only way to clean them well is to actually wipe each piece, which does take awhile. we use a microfiber towel as it really clings the dust. I tried getting two different attachments that hook up to your vacuum and both were a waste of time and money, neither cleaned very well.
