Curtain Cleaning Methods
There are two ways you can approach cleaning curtains:
1. On Site Curtains & Drapes Cleaning
Hot water extraction “steam” cleaning
Unlike upholstery fabrics which can withstand shrinkage due to being stretched over cushions and frames, curtains are much more susceptible to warping and shrinkage, particularly so if they are cotton or cotton mix fabrics.
We consider it wiser to use non-water based solutions i.e. solvents for curtain cleaning.
Payless Curtains Cleaners rarely offers this method of cleaning curtains and never for cotton or cotton mix curtains.
Dry solvent cleaning
Even with dry cleaning, there is a small risk of shrinkage to the curtain fabric. However, while this method is preferred with regard to the risk of the fabric, there are health and safety reasons that relate to the consequences of the use of dry cleaning solvent chemicals which are directed upwards and suspended by spray jets in tiny droplets that form in the air. The expert technician must therefore wear protective equipment which should include goggles to protect his eyes, a mask to prevent inhalation of airborne solvent particles and, as solvents are an irritant, a tyvex suit and gloves would be advisable to avoid skin contact. The homeowner should avoid entering the room while the work is being done.
