Curtain Cleaning Down, Cleaned And Rehung

Yes — take-down, hardware and rehang are part of the job, not something left for your maintenance team. That is the single most common reason curtain cleaning gets deferred for years.

• Hooks, gliders and weights are removed and bagged against the room they came from, so nothing comes back to the wrong window.
• Take-down and rehang are booked as a pair at the start, so a room is out for the turnaround rather than until somebody remembers.
• Tracks and poles can be wiped down while the curtains are off, which is the only time it is easy.
• Quoted with the job, on access and height rather than as a flat fee.

Not if the process is chosen for the fabric — which is exactly what a general cycle does not do. A lined curtain is at least two fabrics shrinking at different rates in the same wash.

• Fabric, lining and drop are recorded at assessment before anything comes down, and the process follows from that.
• Dry clean, wet clean or specialist depending on what the lining can take, not on what is convenient.
• Blackout and rubberised linings are the ones that fail first on a general cycle, and they are handled separately.
• If a curtain is too far gone to clean safely we say so before starting, rather than returning it two inches short.

Typically a day per phase, because take-down and rehang are scheduled together. A room without curtains is a room you cannot sell, and that is the real cost of the job.

• Hotels are usually phased a floor at a time, so no more rooms are out than you agree to.
• Offices and clinics go out of hours — down after close, back before opening.
• Whole-property jobs during a refurbishment can be cleaned and stored, then rehung to follow the works.
• The rehang date is agreed at the start, not arranged afterwards.

Smoke and damp usually yes; sun damage usually not, and we will tell you which before cleaning rather than after.

• Nicotine and cooking residue respond to treatment before finishing, which is why stains are worked before the press rather than after.
• Damp and mildew marks depend on how long they have been there and whether the fibre has gone.
• Sun rot is permanent. The fabric has already broken down, and cleaning a sun-rotted curtain often finishes it — so we flag it at assessment.
• You get told at assessment, not at delivery.

Hotel bedrooms every 12 to 24 months; clinic and care home privacy curtains far more often; offices every two to three years. The honest answer is that most buildings leave it far too long.

• Curtains hold smoke, cooking residue and dust long before they look dirty — by the time it shows, the fabric has usually absorbed it.
• Privacy curtains are a hygiene item and are usually on a much shorter cycle set by your own policy.
• Cleaning on a cycle costs less than replacing on discovery, which is the real economics of it.
• We will set a schedule with you rather than wait to be called.

Any commercial building with curtains, drapes or blinds. The fabric and the access change; the process does not.

• Hotels and serviced apartments — bedroom drapes, blackouts and nets, phased a floor at a time so no more rooms are out of service than you agree to.
• Care homes, clinics and surgeries — cubicle and privacy curtains as a hygiene item on their own classification, plus resident bedroom curtains on the same visit.
• Offices, schools and colleges — full-height drapes, vertical and roller blinds, done out of hours or in the holidays so nobody sees a bare window.
• Restaurants, bars, theatres and event venues — voile, velvet, dividers, stage drapes and backdrops, worked around your closed days.
• Not on the list? If it has curtains and it is a business address, it is a normal booking.

From £25 per curtain for standard sizes, including collection, cleaning and delivery. The full published range is on this page rather than behind an enquiry.

• Priced by drop and fabric — standard to 137cm, long to 274cm, extra long beyond that, with separate rates for blackout, sheer and luxury fabrics.
• Bulk rates start at five items: 10–15% off five to nine, 25–40% off ten or more.
• A hotel floor or a whole care home is quoted on the actual count rather than off the list price.
• Take-down and rehang are quoted with the job, on access and height.

Yes, and they run on their own classification rather than with general soft furnishings. Around 1,708 clinics and 3,038 care homes sit inside our coverage.

• Cubicle and privacy curtains are handled as a hygiene item, not as decoration.
• Every load is temperature logged, which matters on any site that has to show how soft furnishings are handled.
• Rotation sets can be held so a bay is never left without a curtain during a changeover.
• Care home bedroom curtains go on the same visit as the cubicle sets.

Yes — same account, same contact, same invoice. Most curtain work here comes from properties we already collect linen from.

• No separate agreement and no second supplier to onboard.
• Your account manager schedules it around the linen round rather than as an unrelated visit.
• New customer? A curtain job is a perfectly normal first booking and commits you to nothing else.
