Did you know you can clean your curtains?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Hamilton

Curtains, drapes and blinds are an essential part of any room in the home. They gather dust, road film, pet hair, and dander — even mould spores. Over time, these things accumulate and make your window treatments look dingy.


It is important that they are taken care of so that they have optimal function. Often people will hang curtains and then will forget about cleaning them which leaves dirt and dust hanging on your curtains. Once you start to regularly clean your curtains it will allow you to enjoy them even more.


Every time you open or close dirty curtains, the dust and other debris swirls around in your home’s air. Eventually, it lands on your furniture and floors, making your home look and smell dirty. If you suffer from indoor allergies, washing your curtains regularly will really help ease symptoms.


There are some reasons you want to clean your curtains regularly like if you or someone in the house has allergies. The curtains can be a holding ground for dust, dander, and dirt eventually if not washed often enough. Also, if there is a smoker in the house you will want to wash your curtains more than once a month at least. The smell of the smoke can quickly come embedded into the material of your curtains if not properly cared for.

There are a few other reasons to wash your curtains more often like living near a dusty road or even near the beach and salt water. It may wear away the colour of your curtains if not cleaned regularly. The hooks in the top go rust and need to be replaced before the rust starts to stain the fabric.



Curtains can be expensive and are certainly a luxury for any home. It is important to take good care of them so they last longer. Taking care of your belongings is always necessary to keep them looking fresh and new.
