Curtains and drapes collect dust, sun fading and general household smells over time, but because they hang out of reach they tend to get overlooked compared with carpet or furniture. In Chermside homes, heavier lined curtains and lighter sheers both get booked, and the crew we book checks the fabric and the way the curtains are hung before deciding on an approach.
Some curtains can be cleaned in place while still hanging, which avoids the hassle of taking them down and rehanging afterwards. Others, particularly delicate or heavily marked fabric, are better taken down and worked on separately. For Chermside households near busier roads, dust and general grime tend to build up more quickly on curtains left open through the day, so these are often the ones booked first.
Hems and the bottom third of a curtain usually carry the most dust, since this is the section closest to the floor and window ledge. The crew checks pleats, linings and any decorative trims separately, since these can need a gentler approach than the main panel. Once cleaned, curtains need time to dry fully before being closed again, particularly in a room that does not get much airflow.
