Frequently Asked Questions

Can curtains be cleaned without taking them down?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the fabric and condition, curtains can often be cleaned while hanging, which reduces disruption and avoids unnecessary creasing.

How often should curtains be professionally cleaned?

For most homes, every 12–24 months is sufficient. Homes with pets, smokers or higher dust levels may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Will cleaning affect the colour or shrink the fabric?

We assess the material carefully before starting and use controlled methods to minimise risk. While delicate or sun-worn fabrics require extra care, the aim is always to clean gently without causing shrinkage or colour damage.

Curtains often go unnoticed when it comes to regular cleaning, yet they collect a surprising amount of dust over time. Airborne particles, cooking vapours and everyday household odours gradually settle into the fabric. Even if they look clean from a distance, curtains can hold trapped dirt within the fibres.

Our curtains cleaning in Croydon is designed to refresh fabrics carefully while protecting their structure and colour. Different materials require different handling. Lightweight voiles, lined curtains, heavy drapes and delicate blends all respond differently to moisture and cleaning solutions. We assess the fabric first before deciding on the most suitable method.

In many cases, curtains can be cleaned while hanging, which reduces disruption and avoids unnecessary creasing or shrinkage. This approach is especially helpful for larger window coverings or high installations. Where removal is needed, we handle them carefully and ensure they are re-hung properly once cleaned.

The cleaning process focuses on lifting embedded dust and neutralising trapped odours rather than simply masking them. Over time, dust accumulation can dull the fabric’s appearance and slightly stiffen its texture. A professional clean helps restore a lighter, fresher feel.

We also pay attention to linings and stitching. Older curtains may have delicate seams or sun exposure damage, particularly in south-facing rooms. Part of our job is to work within those limits and avoid over-wetting or stressing the fabric.

Once cleaned, curtains typically dry naturally with good room ventilation. Because we use controlled moisture levels, drying times are generally manageable. We’ll advise you on simple steps to help the process along.

Regular curtain cleaning isn’t just about appearance. It contributes to a fresher indoor environment by reducing settled dust within the home. For households with allergies, pets or busy daily routines, this can make a noticeable difference.

Our aim is straightforward: careful, considered cleaning that respects the fabric and the room it hangs in. No harsh treatment, no unnecessary removal — just a practical service carried out with attention to detail.

Why Regular Curtain Cleaning Matters

Curtains play a larger role in a room than many people realise. Beyond providing privacy and controlling light, they act as soft surfaces that naturally trap airborne particles. Over time, dust, pollen and everyday household residue settle into the folds, particularly along the lower edges and pleats.

Because this build-up happens gradually, it often goes unnoticed. You may not see visible dirt, but the fabric can start to look slightly dull or feel heavier. In rooms exposed to cooking vapours or open windows, curtains can also absorb lingering odours.

Professional cleaning helps prevent long-term fibre damage caused by embedded dust acting as a mild abrasive. When particles remain in the fabric, daily movement — opening and closing curtains — can slowly wear the material down. Removing this build-up helps preserve the texture and drape.

Another benefit is maintaining the overall appearance of the room. Clean curtains allow colours to appear clearer and fabrics to hang more naturally. In rental properties or before hosting guests, refreshed window coverings can subtly improve the feel of the entire space.

We also understand that some clients worry about disruption. Our approach is designed to be practical and efficient, keeping inconvenience to a minimum. Clear communication, careful handling and measured cleaning methods ensure the process is straightforward from start to finish.

Curtains may not need attention as often as carpets or upholstery, but periodic professional cleaning helps keep them looking and functioning as they should.

About George Carpet Cleaning Croydon

George Carpet Cleaning Croydon was built around a simple idea: do the job properly and treat people’s homes with respect. Over the years, we’ve worked in a wide range of properties across Croydon and throughout London inside the M25 — from compact flats to large family houses.

We’re a local, hands-on team, not a faceless call centre. When you contact us, you’re speaking to someone who understands the service and the practical side of the work. That direct approach helps keep things clear and straightforward from the first enquiry to the final result.

Experience has taught us that no two carpets are exactly the same. Fibre type, age, foot traffic and previous cleaning methods all affect how a carpet should be treated. That’s why we assess each job individually rather than relying on a fixed routine.

Our focus is consistency. Turning up when agreed, explaining the process clearly, and carrying out careful, thorough work every time. It’s not about bold claims — it’s about steady, reliable service that customers feel comfortable recommending to others.
