I don't understand it. Cleaning Venetians is the easiest job ever. Takes about a minute to take one down, a couple to carry it out to the garden, open it and lay it on the lawn. I put them on one of those blue plasticy tarpaulins. Hose it and use a soft broom brushing top to bottom, twist the other way and turn it over to get the hidden edge, repeat and hang on the line to dry. I just hang them on hooks in the car port.
The whole thing takes about 10 minutes. If you get all the blinds in the house down together, do it on a sunny day, the whole job takes less than an hour including the drying (which takes most of the time)
Wait a couple of years... repeat.
