Residential curtain cleaning and repairs - making your home healthier with clean, fresh curtains
Curtains do far more than finish a room - they act like air filters, trapping dust, pollen, moisture, cooking residue, and everyday pollutants. Over time, this buildup affects both the appearance of your curtains and the quality of the air your family breathes. Professional curtain cleaning removes deep-down allergens, revitalises fabric, and helps prolong the life of your investment. Regular cleaning also prevents permanent staining, mould growth, and fibre damage, keeping your home looking brighter and feeling fresher.
Contact Care Services today for professional cleaning, mould removal, and expert repairs.
Effective cleaning for all curtain types - from delicate to heavy fabrics
Care Services provides professional cleaning for all types of curtains and drapes, including polyester, cotton, silk, linen, velvet, lace, and lined drapery. We use methods tailored to each fabric, ensuring delicate items, beading, embroidery, and heavy-duty materials are treated safely and effectively. Our process removes dust, pollen, and pollutants, freshens and deodorises fabrics without petroleum-based products.
Specialised fabrics require careful handling. We clean blackout curtains, thermal linings, and rubber-backed drapes to the best of our ability, and will discuss any potential risks before work begins. If there is any concern about delamination or heat sensitivity, we’ll explain options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
From food, wine, and crayon through to pet stains, blood, nicotine, and lingering odours — we offer targeted stain-removal treatments designed for household fabrics. We also specialise in removing watermarks that develop from dampness or window condensation, restoring a clean, even finish.
Mould and mildew removal - expert treatment for one of the most common curtain problems
Curtains are particularly vulnerable to mould and mildew because they sit close to cold glass where moisture condenses. Left untreated, mould can damage fabric, create odours, trigger allergies, and spread quickly. Care Services specialises in removing mould and mildew from all curtain types, using processes that penetrate the fibres and eliminate spores without damaging delicate materials.
To help keep curtains cleaner for longer, a few simple home practices make a big difference:
- Improve airflow — open windows regularly and avoid blocking curtains tightly against the glass.
- Manage condensation — use bathroom/kitchen extraction fans, run a dehumidifier in winter, and wipe window frames as needed.
- Allow curtains to dry out — pull them slightly away from cold windows at night so moisture doesn’t become trapped.
- Limit moisture sources — avoid drying clothes indoors without ventilation.
Regular professional cleaning (at least once a year) is one of the best ways to prevent mould taking hold, especially in cooler or coastal climates.
Curtain repairs and alterations for your home
Care Services can repair many common issues for house curtains, including re-hemming and shortening, relining, fixing tears, hook and track replacements, and general hardware repairs. If your curtains are beyond repair, we’ll discuss replacement options and guide you through what’s best for your space.
For cleaning or repairs, curtains can be dropped off at our facility, or we can arrange collection and delivery with rehanging for a small additional fee. Most cleaning is completed within 4-5 working days. Upfront quotes are available on request before any work begins, giving you full transparency and confidence. While we are cleaning curtains, we also offer rug cleaning and repairs, upholstery cleaning and repairs, and blinds cleaning and repairs - so talk to us about all your cleaning needs.
