Curtain cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining curtains can seem like a daunting task, given their size. But learning how to properly look after your drapes is easier than you might think, and will ensure yours stay in great condition for years to come. Here are some easy-to-follow tips for savvy curtain maintenance.
Beware of dust - Make sure you dust regularly, as this seemingly innocuous house guest can obliterate curtains, especially the more lightweight sort. For best results, vacuum them with a brush-tip attachment or use a hand-held cleaner, and be sure to clean around the sill. Take special care when vacuuming delicate fabrics such as lace.
Avoid sun damage - If you choose darker-hued curtains, be aware that strong sunlight can fade colours, quickly ageing the fabrics. Consider installing a window treatment, as these can reduce the majority of the sun’s glare, thereby preserving your curtains, as well as protecting you from dangerous UV radiation in the daytime.
Shake it off - If you have lined drapes, take a moment to give them a little shake each night as you draw them close. This will dislodge any particles that may have accumulated during the course of the day, making the fabric less likely to sustain damage from airborne dust and dirt.
If your curtains or linings are mouldy they may need to be professionally cleaned to ensure you aren't breathing in any harmful spores. Contact us for a friendly and professional service.

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
