You can do this very easily using either a soft brush or a soft duster, both of which must be clean. The other way of cleaning wooden Venetian blinds is by putting the brush attachment on to your vacuum cleaner.

You can wipe the blinds down using a damp cloth but never should you immerse them fully into water. If you do eventually water will be able to break through the seal of the wooden Venetian blind slats and this will cause them to warp. So to help remove any stubborn dirt or dust from the blinds you just need to wipe over the surface of the slats with a damp cloth with some detergent on it.

Therefore if you are looking for a covering for windows on your home that provides good levels of privacy but allows sufficient sunlight into a room, you should seriously consider getting some wooden venetian blinds.
