Curtains can add just the right touch of light to a room, but as much we love how they add to the decor, seldom knowing how to care for them can be a mystery. How often should you clean curtains? How do you protect delicate sheers? Can you use a washing machine?
What are the options for the best curtain cleaning service in Singapore?
- Vacuum cleaner
- Upholstery attachment
- Laundry detergent
- Washing machine/hand washing supplies
- Clothes dryer/clothesline
- Dry cleaners for dry clean only curtains.
For weekly care, use the upholstery brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to vacuum heavier weight curtains. For lightweight curtains, an occasional shake is more practical to protect the delicate fabric. When cleaning the curtains weekly, do not forget to look for the stains or areas that need a more in-depth inspection. The tops of the curtains along the rod are especially susceptible to dust collection. You can use a long-handled dusting tool to gently brush and dust the area or the wand of your vacuum cleaner.
When going to look for a good laundry service in Singapore, make sure you are well aware of every bit of it so that you don’t get trapped in the fake services. Discard all hardware from your curtains before cleaning. When washing them, check the care tag first. If you're in doubt about your curtains, try spot testing a little corner with a mix of water and a small amount of liquid laundry detergent or liquid dish soap. Most washable curtains need to be washed in cold water with a small amount of laundry detergent. Delicate lace and sheer curtains may benefit from hand washing or machine washing inside a mesh bag. In a pinch, you can wash delicate curtains inside an old pillowcase that is tied shut tightly to prevent fraying and shrinkage.
Line drying or using a low setting on clothes dryer will do both works for washable curtains. Remove the curtains from the dryer before they are 100% dry. Aim to remove them when they are about 95% dry. Over drying will set wrinkles, but removing while still slightly damp makes ironing curtains a cinch. Quick ironing is all that's needed before replacing your curtain hardware and recharging your curtains. Some steam cleaners have attachments to steam upholstery or curtains. Be aware, though, that only launder able machine curtains will hold up to steam treatment. You may, however, get better results washing machine washable curtains than steaming them and it's not that much more trouble to take them down and remove them. If you do want to try steam cleaning, be sure that your draperies are in fact machine washable before proceeding.
