Use the brush attachment (the one with the long, soft bristles) on your vacuum cleaner and the brush will loosen the dust and the vacuum will suck it away.

Alternately, you could buy a counter brush (aka a bench brush aka a dust brush) and simply brush the dirt off the slats.

If it's a vinyl blind, just put it in the tub and turn on the shower. (Of course if it's a REALLY inexpensive blind, you could simply replace it, eh?)

Pleated Blinds can be tricky to clean. Ensure the blind is dusted frequently. A damp cloth maybe be used but take care to wring out the cloth before hand to loose any excess water. Additionally wipe over the fabric immediately after to remove any excess water to preventing staining.

Always test any cleaning method in a small section first, as all fabrics react differently to different cleaning methods.
