Cleaning curtains without taking them down
Most curtains can be cleaned while they stay on the pole or track. We work in situ, lifting dust from the weave and freshening the fabric in the room rather than sending anything off-site. That matters because the shrinkage and stretching people worry about usually happens in transit, in a washing machine or through dry-clean handling, not from a careful clean at the window.
On-site work also keeps your room together. The curtains go back to looking right the same day, and you are not left with bare windows while something sits in a queue at a unit across town.
Matching the method to the fabric
We check the fabric before we start. Heavy linings, interlined curtains and delicate weaves each behave differently under moisture, so the lining and material decide the method, not the other way round.
Where the fabric suits it, we use steam or a low-moisture clean in situ to lift ingrained dust and odours without soaking the cloth. If something looks risky, we test a hidden corner first and tell you plainly if we think it should not be wet-cleaned at all.
- Linings get checked for colour-fastness before any moisture goes near them.
- Interlined and delicate fabrics are handled with the gentlest method that still works.
- A discreet patch test settles any doubt about a fabric.
Take-down, re-hang and blinds
If a curtain genuinely needs taking down, we do that too, and we re-hang it once it is dry and back in shape. We note how the headings and hooks sit before anything comes off, so it goes back the way you had it.
Blinds are an add-on if you want them done in the same visit. Roller, vertical, Roman and venetian blinds each clean a little differently, and we will quote them alongside the curtains so you have one figure for the room.
What curtain cleaning costs and how long it takes
Curtain cleaning starts from £35 per curtain. A pair counts as two curtains, and we give you the price before we book, so the figure on the day is the one you agreed with no extras added on site.
Most in-situ cleans are done in a single visit, with drying times depending on the fabric weight and the room. We cover London, Manchester, Liverpool and the areas nearby.
