They help reduce the amount of dust that comes in your home through your windows and allows you to change the ambient light in any room according to your needs. But when curtains get dirty, their aesthetic and functional value is reduced: dusty curtains make the room dusty when moved, and dirty curtains block out more sunlight, making your rooms look musty and dark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from the aesthetic value of your home, if you have any dust allergies, regular curtain cleaning is the first thing to do to prevent allergic reactions. You could also hire <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home cleaners in Dubai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to deep-clean your curtains at least once a month. Read on to find the various ways you can take care of your curtains to keep them looking fresh as new.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Weekly cleaning routine<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.offermaids.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hire professional Dubai house cleaning services<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your curtains once a month, integrating curtains into your weekly cleaning routine can help reduce the dust buildup. This can also help keep your curtains look spotless between washes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.offermaids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Finally-found-my-new-home-1-1.png\" alt=\"home cleaners in Dubai\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.offermaids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Finally-found-my-new-home-1-1.png 560w, https:\/\/www.offermaids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Finally-found-my-new-home-1-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.offermaids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Finally-found-my-new-home-1-1-355x199.png 355w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you clean any room, shake up the curtains to remove any accumulated dust. You might need to wait for a couple of minutes until the dust settles before cleaning the floor and furniture in the room. Use a vacuum attachment to clear away any lingering dust on your curtains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cleaning for all kinds of curtains<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curtains come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing common to them is the fact that they attract dust, dirt, and grease. Since these tend to accumulate and damage the curtains over time, as well as affect your health, you would need to clean these curtains as often as you wash your bed sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabric curtains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common kind of curtains, these tend to have the most dust and dirt buildup. But even though they are the same material as our clothes, we do not pay much attention to fabric curtains as often as we do our clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before cleaning them, remove all fittings and hang them outside to remove loose dust and dirt. Set the laundry machine on the COLD setting and run a cycle with two panels each. When drying, set it to low heat to prevent any damage to the material. Do not leave them in the dryer for too long as the fabric might get wrinkled easily. Rehang the curtain panels and allow them to dry completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lace and sheer fabric curtains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine washing these curtains can damage them because they could become wrinkled and snaggy when wet. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home cleaners in Dubai <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recommend a thorough but careful wash by hand to remove any accumulated dust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before washing, remove the curtains and take them outside your home to give a good shake, removing any loose dirt. Fill a wide basin with cold water and dish washing solution. Soak each panel in the soapy solution for about 10 minutes before swirling them to remove dust. To remove the soap from the material, wash each panel in cold water for a minute. Finally, hang them out to dry before re-assembling them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bead\/Shell curtains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These materials give an elegant appearance to your windows, but cleaning them can be quite worrisome as they tend to get knotted easily. So instead of taking them down for cleaning, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home cleaners in Dubai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommend a simpler method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hang a bed sheet behind the curtains and fasten them with clips. Spread a couple of paper towels beneath the curtains. Mix warm water and dish washing solution in a spray bottle and spray the curtain material thoroughly from top to bottom. Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the dust and dirt, focusing on grimy spots, if any. Remove the cloth from behind the curtain and leave the windows open to let the curtains dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Velvet fabric curtains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most velvet curtains need to be dry washed, so check their label to make sure that you follow the right washing guidelines to prevent any damage to the material. Check your velvet curtains if they are colorfast by putting a damp white cloth to an inside edge. If the color leaks to the cloth, it needs to be dry washed by professional home cleaners in Dubai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If not, you can wash them by yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For colorfast velvet curtains, set the laundry machine to DELICATE wash and run a cycle with cold water. Be careful to use about half the amount of detergent that you would otherwise use on such a load size. Do not place them in the dryer after washing. Spread the curtains on a clean sheet and let them dry thoroughly before rehanging them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry-clean only curtains<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some kind of curtains come with clear labels that say they should only be dry cleaned. Even if they are not mentioned, if you don\u2019t wish to ruin an expensive piece of drapery, you can dry-clean them by yourself or look for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">house cleaning in Dubai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help dry clean them efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are dry-cleaning them by yourself, put one panel at a time into the machine and run a DELICATE cycle with cold water. Remove them immediately after the cycle to prevent wrinkling. Do not put them in the dryer as it will most likely cause the lining material to shrink. Hang them out on the laundry line or spread them on a clean sheet inside to get them thoroughly dried.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Professional home cleaners in Dubai<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai house cleaning services<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommend getting your curtains professionally cleaned at least once a month.
