Keep reading for some pro curtain cleaning tips from our house cleaners in Milton Keynes.

Check the care label

First and foremost, you need to determine what your curtains are made of. Different fabrics have different care instructions; some, like velvet or silk, require professional dry cleaning. As such, you need to know what material you’re working with before you accidentally ruin your favourite shades.

Try a steam cleaner

Handheld steam cleaners are great for curtain cleaning. They can help you lift stains without taking the whole curtain down to put it through the washing machine. Plus, they do a wonderful job at removing odours — especially if you follow up with fabric freshening spray.

Spot-clean stains

You don’t necessarily have to clean your whole curtain to fix one small stain. Try using a gentle fabric cleaner (one that’s safe for your material, remember!) and apply it to the mark with a soft cloth. Use dabbing motions to wash it away.

It’s a good idea to test this method in a discreet area before applying any product or water to the stain. This will help you avoid making a mess somewhere that’s more visible.

Vacuum every week

Remove dust from your curtains every week with a handheld vacuum cleaner. Or, you can use your regular machine with a brush attachment. Start at the top and work down for efficiency. Doing this will help reduce allergens like dust and freshen up your living spaces in no time.
