We just bought our first Class A RV - a Monaco Diplomat 1999, it's in great shape however the pleated blinds are dusty and a bit stained.
Looking for suggestions of how to safely clean the blinds and how others maintain them over time. They're those day/night type of blinds.
We also have some dated shiny bright light fixtures that I'd like to tone down, either repaint or replace the fixtures. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

We purchased a used RV that had some spots on the shades and after vacuuming and just trying water (didn't work) I decided to try some carpet spot remover foam. I put a mound of foam on a plate and then used a toothbrush to dab it on, let a sit a few minutes and then blotted it off with an old white wash rag. I was shocked when it worked! I'd try it someplace where it isn't noticeable first. Upholstery cleaner might work too.
Good luck!

Oxyclean for the shades
For the shiny stuff, use a scotchpad to buff and provide a surface for paint to stick to. Then paint the fixture with a good can of spray paint in the color and texture of your choice.
