Maintaining curtains is essential to uphold the luxurious appearance of rooms. By following proper techniques, you can preserve their quality regardless of the fabric used. Remember these cleaning methods to ensure your curtains remain in top condition for years to come.

1. Vacuuming / Dry Cleaning

Weekly or monthly cleaning by vacuuming from the top of the curtain and move down so that the dust falls on the part that has not been cleaned.
Focus cleaning on corners and creases that trap dust.

The easiest and effective technique of cleaning is to vacuum both sides of the hanging curtains.

Vacuuming or dry cleaning is also highly recommended for curtains that have accessories such as beads or artificial crystals.

2. Machine Wash

The most convenient way to wash is to use a washing machine. However, there are a few things you can do to get good washing results:

Wash the curtains using a slow cycle (delicates cycle). Curtains which are made from thick fabric might not withstand a heavier cycle because the curtain fibers are weak when exposed to the sun's rays.

If the curtains are too dirty, wash them with warm water. Otherwise, the use of cold water when washing is highly recommended to prevent the fabric from shrinking and fading.

For washing dark coloured curtains, it is recommended to use gentle washing detergent does not bleach the colour.

3. Hand Washing

Hand washing is an alternative for cleaning curtains. Despite, it can be challenging and time consuming given their weight and size.

Curtains can be washed in a tub or bath tub to remove impurities.

Handle with care to prevent changes in appearance or shape by avoiding rubbing the fabric against each other.

Post hand washing, you may place them in your washing machine on a slow spin cycle to remove extra water.

4. Dusting

When dusting curtains, a lint roller can effectively eliminate dirt, dust, or pet fur.

In the event of encountering spots or stains, a damp cloth can be utilized for removal. For stubborn marks, consider professional cleaning services.

Dusting is the ideal method of cleaning your curtains for those who need the job done simple & fast. However, do consider the drawbacks of dusting as there will be dust all over the air which might easily causes you sneezing or even getting sick. Remember to wear a mask while cleaning the curtains :)

How Often should You Wash Your Curtains?

The dirtiness of the curtains will depend on their location. If the curtains hang in the living room, washing them twice a year is enough.

However, the best period is three months because during this period the fabric will not collect much dust and which causes significant color changes.

If the curtains are in the kitchen, you should wash them when the dirt is visible. Curtains do not need to be washed every month.
