What's living in your curtains ?

Did you know that household curtains can be free lodgings for over 10,000 tiny dust mites? Curtains are excellent air-filters that trap airborne dust, odours, hairs, smoke and dead skin particles which create the perfect habitat for dust mites. This can cause a wide variety of allergic reactions, including eczema, dermatitis, asthma, dry coughs, hay fever and sinusitis. Having your curtains dry cleaned can help reduce the build up of mites and ease the symptoms of their presence to all members of the household.

It is advised that people should clean their curtains, swags, tails and pelmets at least every six months and much more regularly if anyone in the house suffers from asthma or allergies. Smoke and nicotine can also attack and damage curtain fibres.

We can thoroughly clean and press your curtains, whatever their size, with a level of perfection fit for a show home - We guarantee a truly professional finish! But don’t forget the carpets and furniture covers too. After all what goes up, must come down and you carpet is the ideal landing group for any air born mites, lice and other insects that can be carried in on the breeze. These are also ideal feeding grounds as they have a good steady supply of food debris and skin particles which never make it to the curtains but live a very comfortable life in your carpet and on your furniture covers. So why not have these professionally cleaned too, then sit back and relax with the peace of mind in knowing that your soft furnishings are not a hotel for some less than welcome guests!
