window blinds

Whenever someone hears the words "window blinds" the first thought they may have is, "Man, those things are such a pain to clean!" Right?

Nary a thought is given to what a great invention they are or how they help us control how much light we let into our rooms and houses. Nary a thought is given to how window blinds help our privacy when we are getting ready for bed each night. And nary a thought is given to how window blinds help keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer during the winter. No. It's always just about how hard they are to clean!

Well, this is unfortunate. Window blinds are one of the best modern conveniences ever invented. The very first vertical blinds were actually invented by the Bopp Brothers, Edward and Fredrick Bopp, in Kansas City, Missouri. Since then, many advances have been made to the window blind. In fact, there are now blinds that sit between two separate window pains, making cleaning them completely unnecessary!

So stop begrudging window blinds. They deserve our respect, love, and trust! Bloggers speaking about window blinds can be found at sites like ytlsf and greenlineblog.
