QuestionHow do I get rid of grime from the window shade?
Community AnswerThere are a few different home mixtures you could try. The first is to mix lemon juice with salt, spray the shade, and wipe it. Leave the shade for two hours and then wipe again. The grime should come off easily. You can also do the same steps with straight vinegar. -
