cleaning wood blinds

This is something I procrastinate with.
I do desire to get our blinds clean but am quite frustrated with how to best do it.
The only way I've ever done it is to wipe each individual slat. That takes a seeming eternity and still isn't a good outcome. With 10 windows to do it's not even become an option.
Does anybody have a method to share with me PLEASE?

Good luck man. I recently cleaned the blinds in my office and I almost just decided to buy new blinds. Get a beer and some paper towels and go to town.

A long handled Swiffer type duster and go to town.
Best I can do. Just did mine as a matter of fact.

I've done it that hard way. Results are not good.

I use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Dust comes right off. Looks nice afterwards.

that's what I did. much easier than cleaning the wood blinds.

Real wood or faux wood? How about take them down, lay them on the ground stretched out, and pressure wash them? That's all I got.

I once considered using my air compressor on our interior wood shutter/blinds and just blowing the frick out of them and vacuuming up the dust, but cooler heads prevailed 
I just use a swiffer duster on each, then a swiffer wet pad on each. Takes for-fricking-ever. My maid service, despite me asking, does a terrible job on them. Just a superficial wiping, not in the slats. They're cheap and do a good job otherwise, so I look past it.
Our two big windows that have them I actually leave an air purifier underneath and it significantly slowed the dust accrual.

Man, for my interior wood shutters, why didn't I think of that?
I bet I can quickly pop them off.

I pull them flat one direction, vacuum the crap out of them with the brush attachment, then flip the other direction and do the same. I'm not wiping anything.

After I swiffer dust them (not vacuum, granted) they look really clean, then the wet wipes come back dirty as shite.
Try wiping after you vacuum next time just a few slats and see if it's dirty still.

What if I'm just happy that I can't see chunks of dust anymore?
