How Often Should You Clean Your Curtains?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

The frequency of cleaning curtains largely depends on a few factors such as the material of the curtains, their location, and the level of dust and pollutants in the air. As a general rule, it is recommended to clean your curtains every 6-12 months. Here are some reasons why:

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.

However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.

In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.

Full for now - but recruiting volunteers for next cohort; mid-August for three months.

If you'd like to meet up with a participant on the English Language Training for Officials programme through Victoria University, see the attached flyer.
Participants, who are government officials from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Timor-Leste or Vietnam, are paired with a local conversation partner to chat and hopefully meet up once a week while they are here. The aim is to develop the participants' English and their knowledge of New Zealand/Wellington.

Chats can be about anything, but are often about life here/SE Asia, and can be anywhere, but are often in cafes, parks, homes, etc. More details on attached flyer (note the flyer is for the current cohort, not the next [who will focus on resiliance as a theme]).

The Benefits of Clean Curtains

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

They not only add beauty to a room but also serve practical purposes such as providing privacy, blocking light, and insulating the room. However, curtains can also become a haven for dust, dirt, and allergens, which can be harmful to your health. Regular cleaning of curtains can help remove these particles and keep your home healthy and clean.

Here are some reasons why cleaning curtains regularly is beneficial:

1. Remove Dust and Dirt: Curtains, like any other household item, collect dust and dirt over time. This can cause allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Regular cleaning of curtains can help remove these particles and improve indoor air quality.
2. Improve the Look of Your Home: Clean curtains can improve the overall look of your home. They can add a fresh and inviting atmosphere to any room.
3. Prolong the Life of Curtains: Regular cleaning can help prolong the life of your curtains. Dirt and dust particles can cause the fabric to wear and tear faster than normal. Regular cleaning can prevent this and help extend the life of your curtains.
4. Remove Odours: Curtains can absorb odours from cooking, smoking, and other activities. Regular cleaning can help remove these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.
5. Protect from Sun Damage: Curtains can fade and become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help remove any build-up of dirt and dust particles that can contribute to sun damage.
6. Prevent Mould and Mildew Growth: Curtains that are not cleaned regularly can become a breeding ground for mould and mildew. Regular cleaning can prevent the growth of these harmful substances.

In conclusion, regular cleaning of curtains is important for both health and aesthetic reasons. It helps remove dust, dirt, and allergens, improves the look of your home, prolongs the life of your curtains, removes odours, protects from sun damage, and prevents mould and mildew growth. Therefore, it is recommended to add curtain cleaning to your regular cleaning routine to maintain a clean and healthy home.
