If you want to wash aluminium blinds, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent or cleaner. Use warm or cold water - never use hot water. Make sure that you tilt the slats. Protect the floor or sill from excess water. The blind can also be taken down, placed in a bath tub of mild soapy water, then rinsed clean, wiped dry, or allowed to dry completely in the open air.
