Your curtains hang in your home all day and collect a lot of dust, allergens, odors and more. Therefore, it is important to wash or dry clean your curtains regularly. Especially now that we are home more often in these times of corona. In this blog, we explain why it is important to keep your curtains clean properly, what you can do yourself, and how professional cleaning can improve the quality of your curtains.
Washing curtains: why is it important?
Curtains filter the air in your rooms throughout the day. That means they can take in everything in the air, from swirling dust and dander, to allergens, dust mites and even mold spores. Yet curtains are often forgotten when it comes to home cleaning because unlike furniture, for example, it is less noticeable that your curtains are getting dirty. Dirty curtains can then cause the air quality in your room to decrease, can cause unpleasant odors and can even cause breathing problems.
What you can do yourself
To make sure your curtains stay fresh, there are a number of things you can do yourself at home. Be sure to regularly air the room in which your curtains hang and shake out your curtains weekly. With a specially available attachment for your vacuum cleaner, it is also possible to properly vacuum your curtains once a month to get the most dirt and dust out.
Improve the quality of your curtains
Although you can keep your curtains reasonably fresh yourself, deep within the fibers of your curtains will always continue to accumulate dirt, dust, allergens and more that you cannot easily remove by vacuuming or ventilating. For this, you can have your curtains professionally cleaned. This way, all things such as dust, dirt, dust mites and allergens are deeply removed from your curtains.
