Over time, they quietly gather dust, bacteria, and mould spores, which can lead to various health issues. Knowing how to clean your curtains properly will help to keep you and your family safe, as well as extending the lifespan of your window dressings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some top tips for keeping your curtains clean, fresh, and in tip-top condition, regardless of what life might throw at them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cleaning dry clean only curtains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody likes seeing curtains that are covered in stains or smell bad. But you need to be careful when maintaining your curtains to avoid damaging them and ensure that they continue looking their best in your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you only dry clean your curtains. This is because the main fabric, interlining, and lining are all likely to shrink at different rates in water. Even on delicate cycles, washing machines can cause curtains to pucker or hang poorly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re keen to do your bit for the planet, try to source an eco-conscious dry cleaner that uses non-toxic solvents, such as GreenEarth\u00ae dry cleaning at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsoncleaners.com\/services\/curtain-cleaning\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnsons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Traditional irons aren\u2019t recommended as they can leave marks, especially on delicate or patterned fabrics. Here\u2019s how to do it:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill the steamer with clean water and allow it to heat up fully.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hang your curtains so that they are fully extended. It\u2019s important to ensure that they aren&#8217;t bunched or folded at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric at the top of the curtains. Move the steamer downwards in vertical strokes, allowing the steam to gently ease out the creases. Keep the steamer moving constantly to avoid over-saturating any one area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave the curtains to air-dry fully before drawing them closed again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your curtains need a deeper clean, there are lots of companies out there who will offer specialist in-situ curtain cleaning, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.servicemasterclean.co.uk\/curtain-cleaning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ServiceMaster<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safeclean.co.uk\/services\/curtain-cleaning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safeclean<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

But it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that your beautiful curtains are ruined. Here are some methods you can try:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter or a stiff-bristled brush to lift any mould spores from the surface. Make sure you dispose of any vacuum bags afterwards to avoid spreading the spores.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your curtains have stubborn spots of mould, try lightly spritzing a clean cloth with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water and dab gently. Test it on an inconspicuous area first to ensure that your solution won\u2019t damage the fabric.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry your curtains thoroughly using a dehumidifier, or keep the window open and let the breeze dry them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our top tip: Prevent is key to keeping your curtains free from mould. Ensure that every room in your house has good airflow \u2013 open your windows regularly and use a dehumidifier to soak up any condensation. You could even place a few sachets of silica gel on your windows to absorb excess moisture.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The best way to clean blackout curtains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackout curtains are especially sensitive thanks to their coated linings. Washing them can damage the backing or lead to peeling, which will make them less effective at blocking out light. Here\u2019s how you should clean blackout curtains:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vacuum them first, just as you would with regular curtains.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spot clean the fabric side with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Try not to get the blackout lining wet, as this can cause it to warp or separate it from the main fabric.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also steam the face fabric if you wish \u2013 but make sure you don\u2019t steam the coated lining!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your blackout curtains need a deeper clean, take them to a reputable dry cleaner who is familiar with coated fabrics.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5982 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanessaarbuthnott.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Different-Curtains-Triple-Pleat-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Time for a new pair of curtains?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, despite our best efforts, curtains reach the end of their lifespan.
