How to clean your curtains 2021 Guide

 

Didn't he ever have to learn how best to clean the sheets? We're understanding. Here is a rundown of the four ways it is possible to clean Curtains. Tip: Be sure to inquire about what cleaning system they are using when having an estimate and ask if they can have a no-shrinkage guarantee.

1. Steam Cleaning: Sometimes, when they are already hanging, carpet cleaning firms can use their handheld attachment to clean Curtains. The issue with this approach is that it only offers surface cleaning-the dirt on your Curtains accumulates in the ploughs and in-behind where it is difficult to achieve steam cleaning. In addition, steam injection further embeds accumulated dirt and soil and leaves a wrinkled & limp look on the Curtains. Save yourself some money, it will yield similar results by vacuuming your Curtains with your own vacuum. It will not extract embedded dust by vacuuming Curtains, but is a good intermediate phase between deep cleaning.

1. Dry Cleaning: At high temperatures, conventional dry cleaners immerse curtains in harsh dry-cleaning fluids that cause shrinkage and distortion of the fabric. In addition, curtains are also stretched and pressed to try to preserve the original shape and form to compensate for the shrinkage caused by liquid immersion. Unfortunately, fire, pressing and harsh chemicals do not stand up well with delicate drapery fabric. A deteriorated fabric that will never recover its original shape and look is the result. With only one cleaning, they can be destroyed if the curtains have tassels, trim, silk, wool or have a blackout lining.

1. Washing: Drapery textiles are not similar to other textiles. While some curtains can be washed, such as polyester sheers, most curtains will not respond well to washing, particularly those with a label that indicates washable. Any fabric immersed in water can shrink, and, even after only one wash, the washing process results in fabric distortion and damage. Washing causes permanent damage to fabrics, however, washed curtains will need pressing, causing further damage, shortening their lifetime significantly.
