Depends if they're just dusty or properly dirty.

I wash mine in the bath. Nice soapy water and a cloth, rinse under the shower, leave to dry.

No good if they're wooden though. For those I use baby wipes.

Sadly, they are wooden but it's a good tip, Nicol

Oh dear
Don't take it to a main dealer, go to a backstreet gaeage. A water pipe doesn't sound like a major issue; not electrical. They'll probably fit a new hose or something silly like a jubilee clip.
Hope it's nowt too serious, LQ.

Cleaning blinds is a complete PITA. It takes so long that I get bored with it. I normally use the vacuum cleaner on them with the brush attachment. Not so easy with hose in the bathroom though because the steam makes the dust stick to them.

Get roller blinds for the bathroom instead.
