Curtain Cleaning
Curtains are a great way to complete the look of your home. But in Singapore's hot and humid climate, curtains get dirty very easily. They are usually the dirtiest fabric in your home.
Curtains are like air filters. They gather dust, and absorb moisture and odours from cooking and smoking. It also traps insects, pet fur and germs.
We wash our clothes regularly, but unlike garments, curtains are bulky and difficult to wash. It is also a huge hassle to take down and put back. Hence it is usually attended to last until it gets really dirty and smelly.
If left in a dirty state for too long, mould or mildew will stain the curtains making them difficult, and sometimes impossible, to remove. Here are some examples.
How Often Should You Clean Your Curtains?
A lot depends on the environment you are in. Curtains trap dust and other airborne particles that enter your home through open windows. If your home is air-conditioned 24/7, or windows are closed most of the time, washing them every 6 to 9 months is fine.
However if you live in a dusty environment or close to roads with heavy traffic, washing every 3 to 4 months is recommended.
If you or family members smoke, the curtains will trap smoke particles and absorb the smell. If not cleaned they will turn yellow over time. If your curtains are in a smoky environment it is best to wash them every 2 to 3 months.
Should You Wash, Vacuum or Dry Clean Your Curtains?
- Washing, either by hand or using a washing machine, removes dirt and impurities. If the curtains are light weight and made of durable material, machine wet washing will suffice.
- Vacuuming on the other hand only removes surface dust. It won't remove stains nor deeply embedded dirt and dust.
- Dry cleaning of curtain removes deeply embedded dust, dirt, and some stains, it also disinfects the curtain to rid it of germs, allergens and dust mites. It is suitable for thick heavy curtains and delicate materials that could be damaged by wet washing.
- Steam cleaning is fast and efficient. It also removes some stains, grease and dirt.
