Why Professional Curtain Cleaning Is Essential

Home curtains are exposed to:

• Dust, pet hair, and pollutants

• Kitchen fumes, cigarette smoke, and room odors

• Allergens like pollen and mold spores

• Direct sunlight, which causes fading and dullness

Despite regular vacuuming or shaking, deep cleaning is required to fully sanitize and restore curtains — and that’s where Dr. Dry steps in.

Types of Curtains We Clean

✅ Cotton Curtains
✅ Sheer/Net Curtains
✅ Blackout Curtains
✅ Velvet & Suede Drapes
✅ Polyester or Blend Fabrics
✅ Eyelet, Rod Pocket, Pleated & Custom Drapes

Each curtain type is cleaned using fabric-specific methods and chemical solutions for maximum safety and performance.

Our Curtain Cleaning Process

🔹 1. Fabric Identification & Test Patch

We begin by checking the curtain material, lining, backing, and colorfastness. A patch test is done using diluted chemicals to ensure the fabric won’t fade or bleed.

🔹 2. Dust & Allergen Removal

Loose dirt and allergens are removed using high-suction industrial vacuuming or light air blowers, depending on the fabric sensitivity.

🔹 3. Chemical Pre-Treatment of Stains

Stains (food, oil, smoke, rust, mold) are pre-treated using targeted chemicals:

• Sodium percarbonate – for organic stains and whitening

• Ammonium hydroxide (diluted) – for mold and mildew on washable curtains

• Hydrogen peroxide (3%) – for disinfecting and brightening

• Isopropyl alcohol – for greasy or ink marks

• Citric acid solution – for water or rust stains

• Neutral enzyme detergents – for protein or starch-based dirt

🔹 4. Cleaning Based on Fabric Type

• Cotton & Polyester Curtains – Washed using mild pH-neutral detergents like Laheine Fabric Cleanser, followed by soft fabric conditioners.

• Sheer & Net Curtains – Gently hand-washed with non-ionic surfactants and oxygen-based bleaches to protect their fragile mesh.

• Velvet & Suede Curtains – Dry-cleaned using hydrocarbon solvents or Perchloroethylene (PERC), depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Blackout Curtains – Cleaned using a mix of cold water soaking + mild surfactants, ensuring the thermal layer stays intact.

🔹 5. Sanitization & Deodorization

Curtains are treated with antibacterial agents such as:

• Benzalkonium chloride – for bacterial disinfection

• Chlorhexidine solution – for odor and fungal removal

Followed by mild fabric-safe deodorants to refresh the curtains.

🔹 6. Pressing, Steaming & Final Finish

Post drying, curtains are steam ironed or flat pressed depending on the fold style, ensuring they return to you wrinkle-free and ready to hang.
