Caring for your curtains

Your curtains are a very expensive part of your furnishings and should be kept pristine and in their original condition by regular dry cleaning.

Dry cleaning is the most effective way to remove accumulated dirt, dust and allergens and should be done at least every two years. Caring for your curtains and protecting your investment requires a professional curtain cleaning service such as cleancurtains.

Curtains collect a lot of household dust and odours not only from the inside of your home but also from the outside, especially when your windows are open.

Smoke and nicotine from cigarettes also damage and break the delicate fabrics of your curtains. If you smoke in your home, you should consider having your curtains cleaned every six months.

Sunlight can damage your curtains and especially your linings. In extreme cases where a window is exposed to the sun all day, it will not only fade your curtains but severely break down the fibres causing them to tear.

Examine your swags, tails and pelmets to see how much dust has collected on the surfaces. Your curtains act as air-filters collecting airborne dust and odours every day. With a simple sniff test you will soon know if they are fresh and clean, or stale and dirty.
