This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.
However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.
In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.
