Find a professional "ultrasonic" service, much the same as jewelry cleaning in which blinds are dipped into a vat of solution and agitated ultrasonically. I was stunned to find how inexpensive it was. My apartment came with 6 large sets (6'x3') of enameled metal mini-blinds. Hand cleaning has always been a nightmare. The big catch is that after cleaning, there is rinsing, and DRYING. Slats tend to stick together once they're wet. The pros charged me $10 per set and threw in minor repairs like replacement bottom bar caps, etc. Well worth it (consider just your time at your hourly wage; then factor in the headache). Good luck.
