Are they cloth, plastic, or metal?
If they are cloth or are a pain to take down, try a can of compressed air. (Buy compressed air in a hardware store or the hardware section of Walmart. For some reason, compressed air is horribly overpriced when it is sitting on the store shelf beside computers or office supplies.)

Then take your blinds outside, lay them flat on the driveway, and hit them with the sprayer attachment of your garden hose. Lay them out on a towel to dry in the sun.
