curtain care

We tailor curtain cleaning to the fabric and lining.

We clean sheer, jacquard, linen, velvet and blackout-lined curtains at our workshop. We check the care label, measurements and shrinkage risk before choosing a method.

The work we do.

  • We inspect the fabric, lining and label and record the measurements.
  • We remove loose dust using a dry method and assess stains separately.
  • We clean according to the fabric and treat tabs, rings and heading tape separately.
  • We hang curtains to dry, steam where suitable and check the measurements again.

We check the item.

Our courier collects your item. We check the material, stains and damage at our workshop. We choose a suitable method and explain the chances of stain removal and any risks. We confirm the final price after inspection.

We quote separately for restoration.

  • High heat and a strong machine spin can shrink curtains and reduce their length.
  • We explain the shrinkage risk at intake and compare measurements before and after treatment.
  • We note brittle areas in sheers and sun-weakened fabric before starting work.
  • We account for jacquard weaves, linen’s tendency to shrink and velvet’s pile.
  • If a blackout lining has cracked or peeling coating, we assess the cleaning options after inspection.
  • We remove detachable rings and treat fixed tabs and heading tape separately according to their construction.
  • To avoid iron marks, we adjust steam to the fabric and do not press an iron directly onto velvet pile.
  • For collection details, see Book courier.
  • You can follow your order’s progress at Track order.

How we do it.

  1. We check the fabric and measurements.

    We inspect the label, lining and seams and record the length and width. At intake, we explain the risks of shrinkage and damage to fragile areas.

  2. We remove dust and clean the curtains.

    We first remove loose dust using a dry method. We assess stains and treat tabs, rings and heading tape separately, choosing the main cleaning method to suit both fabric and lining.

  3. We dry the curtains and compare measurements.

    We hang the curtains to dry and, where suitable, steam them without direct iron pressure. We recheck measurements and the lining before packing.

We answer your questions.

Do you clean curtains at home without taking them down?

No, we clean curtains at our workshop. Our courier collects them once they have been taken down; see Book courier for collection details.

How long does curtain cleaning take?

Turnaround depends on the order size, fabric and drying time. We confirm when the curtains will be ready at intake.

How do I open the curtain rail to take the curtains down?

You may not need to remove the rail itself; it depends on the fittings. Send us a photo of the rail and attachments before forcing anything, and we can explain what needs checking. Leave heavy fittings at height to an installer.

Why do curtains get shorter after washing at home?

High heat and a strong spin can cause shrinkage, and the lining may shrink differently from the outer fabric. We check measurements before and after cleaning, but cannot promise to restore curtains that have already shrunk.

Can blackout and velvet curtains be washed?

We do not use the same wash cycle for every curtain. We inspect the blackout coating, velvet pile and care label before explaining which method is suitable.

How is curtain cleaning priced?

We consider dimensions, fabric, lining and the work needed on details and stains. See Pricing for the price list; we confirm the final amount after inspection at intake.

Can you remove yellowing and old stains?

We check the cause and the fabric’s condition and explain the chances of removal after inspection. Cleaning may not restore sun-faded colour or sun-weakened fibres.
