Choosing Curtain Dry Clean Or Laundry Clean? |
 |
|
|
Curtains collect dirt and moisture when the
windows are open. Dust from the ceilings fans
and air vents also tend to settle down on
curtains. Any dust circulating in the air tends
to accumulate on curtains as well.
It is impractical to wash curtains and draperies
frequently. Frequent washing can also destroy
the fabric. Curtain cleaning can be easily
accomplished by dusting or vacuuming them
regularly. Feather dusters, dusting cloths,
using a vacuum cleaner with an appropriate
attachment, using a damp cloth etc.
To the question, 'should the curtains be dry
cleaned or laundry cleaned?' the answer is to
first check out the manufacturer's label for
cleaning instructions. Curtains can be steam,
dry or machine cleaned. They can even be
hand-washed by putting them in a bathtub and
using a mild detergent. However, this method of
curtain cleaning is possible if the curtains are
not too dirty and if they are not very bulky.
Curtain Laundry Cleaning
Care has to be taken to clean curtains that are
machine washable. The curtains may be made with
a combination of materials that may require
specific points to be taken care of. For
example, if the curtain has undergone a flame
retardant treatment then, with a wrong wash, the
quality of the cloth may be compromised. Ensure
that metal rings, hooks, metal fittings, or
weights are removed prior to washing. Also, make
sure to loosen any of the tape strings that may
be present.
It is best that the curtains are washed using
the delicate cycle. Wash using lukewarm water if
the curtains are soiled heavily. If not cold
water is the best choice to keep them from
shrinking and in maintaining the quality of the
drapery. Use a mild detergent that will keep
colors from fading. Ensure that you machine dry
the drapery only for a short while (say 10 to 12
minutes) to avoid wrinkles. It is a good idea to
dry them in the machine till they are only
slightly damp. They can they be hung out on the
clothesline. Using fabric softeners on curtains
may cause stains to appear.
Curtain Dry Cleaning
If the manufacturer's instructions recommend
that the curtains be dry cleaned, then it is
best that the directions are followed.
Generally, such a curtain cleaning facility is
available with those who provide curtain
cleaning services and is performed off-site. It
is important to choose a dry cleaner of repute
who knows how to dry clean curtains in the right
manner. It is always recommended that curtains
with linings be taken to the dry cleaners.
Curtains always shrink after a dry-cleaning
session. This is because dry cleaning is not a
dry process, but because it uses a solvent other
than water. Such a solvent removes oily stains
and some natural fibers do not shrink when a
solvent is used. A specialist dry cleaner will
have the necessary pressing equipment to stretch
them back to normal length after the cleaning
process.
In case the draperies are too faded or too
dirty, curtain cleaning may not be effective and
it is a good idea to replace them right away. |
