Cleaning Curtains 'in situ'


Did you realise that curtains can be cleaned without taking them down? If you have non-washable heavy drapes or wall hangings that are difficult to remove and re-hang, they can be cleaned where they are, in your own home.

When preparing for cleaning, check for holes where moths and mites may have caused damage. If there are small black specks, these could be caused by fly 'poo' which is difficult to remove.

If in doubt about trying a 'do-it-yourself' cleaning solution on expensive items, choose a professional onsite cleaning service for curtains, pelments, carpets, rugs and upholstery. Wall hangings are prone to dust-gathering too.

First of all, items are prepared with a vacuuming to remove dust, hair, fibres, etc., then pre-sprayed with Prochem (or similar) dry cleaning solution. Soft furnishings are then dry cleaned with a professional machine, designed especially for the job, operated by trained professionals. When completed, everything should be bright, clean and smelling fresh!
