Measured care for bulky and structured curtains
Whole-item inspection
We look beyond the face fabric to linings, headings, seams and decorative trims.
Known risks discussed
We explain concerns such as fading or weakened fibres before cleaning starts.
Controlled handling
Professional equipment avoids forcing bulky curtains into a domestic machine.
Professional care for large window textiles
Curtains gradually collect dust, household odours and handling marks, yet their size and structure can make home washing risky. We provide curtain cleaning through our main Shrewsbury store, where we can inspect the complete item before choosing a method. Fabric, lining, interlining, headings and trims all affect how a curtain should be treated. We also consider colourfastness, care labels and known stains. This assessment is especially important for heavy, lined or shaped curtains that need controlled handling throughout cleaning and finishing.
What to check before bringing curtains in
Please remove hooks and fittings where practical, then bring the curtains ready for assessment. Tell us their approximate dimensions, how they're constructed and where you've noticed marks or fading. We inspect seams, linings and decorative features so we can explain the suitable cleaning route. Existing sun damage, weakened fabric or unstable colour may affect what is possible, and we'll discuss those concerns before treatment rather than overlooking them. Careful finishing then prepares the curtains for rehanging.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove curtain hooks first?
Please remove hooks, rings and detachable fittings where practical before handover. If a heading or fitting can't be removed, show us during assessment. We need to understand the full construction before selecting a cleaning method.
Can cleaning reverse sun fading on curtains?
Cleaning can address soiling and suitable marks, but it can't restore colour already lost through sunlight. Sun exposure may also weaken fibres. We inspect faded areas and explain any handling concerns before you decide to proceed.
What information should I provide at the store?
Tell us the curtain size, fabric if known, lining type and location of any stains. Mention previous cleaning, water marks or sun damage too. These details support a more accurate assessment of treatment and handling.
