How to clean a roller blind

Can anyone tell me? We've got one that went in the kitchen when it was done. It doesn't look particularly dirty, but then, I'm not getting too close
I'm pretty sure it must be a bit grubby, but as it's fabric and a roller, I've no idea how or what with......

I think I would just lightly dust it with a fluffy duster.

I've seen dry cleaning pads/clothes - perhaps one of them might clean it up a treat? Usually you can buy them in dry cleaners (oddly enough )

A damp sponge and sugar soap. It was amazing the grime that came off what appeared to be a clean blind.

I have used the JML magic Sponge on mine. Just let it down and wiped it over. It works very well.
