To dust in between those slats just grab a ruler or a
butter knife, cover it with a soft cloth and spray it with
some dusting polish. Then, insert it between the slats and
run it back and forth. It's a quick and easy clean-up that
gets both the top and bottom of a slat, without you having
to do both sides! 
To get the corners, try a small paintbrush instead of a
feather duster. The stiffer bristles make it easier to
really get the dust where it's hiding. The paintbrush also
works great for the corners in the framework of regular
doors. 
To wash these doors, open the door and spread a towel
underneath. Mix a little oil soap and some water in a
spray bottle, and spray the door from the top down, making
sure to hit all of the slats. Then use the ruler trick to
clean and dry the slats. Wipe down the rest of the door
with a soft cloth.
