Dry cleaning curtains? Here's how to remove wrinkles and odors easily!

Dry cleaning your curtains with a clothes steamer: simple and effective!

Dry cleaning curtains is a quick and effective way to remove creases and reduce dust and unpleasant odors. With a clothes steamer, you can easily do this yourself, without having to wipe or wash the curtains. In this blog, we explain how both a compact handheld steamer and a professional (upright) clothes steamer can steam your curtains perfectly.

Why dry clean your curtains?

Curtains collect dust, smoke and odors over time. Steaming them regularly keeps them fresh and wrinkle-free. The great advantage of a clothes steamer is that you don't need an iron and can treat your curtains directly in place. The hot steam kills 99% of bacteria and makes your curtains look like new again.

Frequently asked questions about curtain steaming

Can I dry clean all types of curtains?

Most curtains, such as linen, cotton and polyester, can be safely steam treated. Always check the laundry label to be sure the fabric is suitable for steam treatment.

Is a clothes steamer better than an iron for curtains?

Yes, a clothes steamer is ideal because you don't have to remove drapes and the steam relaxes fibers without direct contact, reducing the risk of damage or shiny spots.

How often should I dry clean my curtains?

It is recommended that you steam your curtains at least once a year, such as during spring cleaning or after the holidays. If you have pets or live in an environment with a lot of air pollution, steaming more often may be helpful.
