Quick answers to what people ask us most.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
For optimal hygiene and fabric preservation, we recommend specialist cleaning every 12 months for general households. Homes with allergy sufferers, pets, or smokers should consider a 6-monthly cycle. Commercial premises often require quarterly cleaning.
Can curtains be cleaned without being removed?
Yes. Our on-site curtain cleaning service uses advanced mobile technology to clean curtains while they are still hanging on their tracks. This is a popular choice for sheer fabrics or complex commercial installations.
Do you offer on-site curtain cleaning?
Absolutely. Our specialised on-site service allows us to deep clean and re-hang your curtains on the same day, without them ever leaving your premises. It’s fast, convenient, and ideal for busy families.
How long does curtain cleaning take?
Standard on-site cleaning for an average four-bedroom house typically takes 3–4 hours. Drying time is an additional 2–4 hours depending on airflow. Off-site cleaning requires the curtains to be with us for 3–5 working days for processing and controlled drying.
Can you remove mould from curtains?
Yes, mould and mildew treatment is one of our core specialities. We use specialist-grade anti-fungal agents that kill the mould’s root structure within the fabric, remove the staining, and treat the area to slow regrowth.
