Got dirty, smelly curtains?
Most curtains, whether they’re casual cotton or fancier damask, are made of woven fabrics that gather dust, pet hair and dander, even mould spores.
Over time, these things accumulate and cause your window treatments to look dirty, go mouldy and smell funny.
That accumulation can also drastically affect your indoor air quality.
Every time the curtains are opened or closed, every time a pet or person brushes against them, the dust and mould spores get disturbed and begin swirling around in your home.
Having your curtains professionally cleaned will go a long way to helping your home stay healthy.
Bring them to the team here at Curtain Clean – industry experts in cleaning curtains and blinds.
We will wash and treat your curtains and drapes for thorough dust and mould/mildew removal. We also deodorise and sanitise your curtains – removing stains, smells, mildew, allergens and anything else we can find, leaving your curtains looking and smelling good as new.
We can also repair and alter curtains and blinds.

The Upside to Down-sizing
Embrace the Freedom! ✨🏠
Ever dreamt of trading in your big house for a simpler, stress-free life filled with travel, friends, and freedom? You’re not alone! Many over 55 are considering downsizing, and it's easy to see why.
👵👴 Why Downsizing?
Once the kids have flown the nest, the appeal of a smaller, more manageable home becomes crystal clear.
💰 Financial Benefits
There are some sweet financial perks too! For those over 65, selling your home and downsizing don’t forget to factor in selling and buying costs and have a chat with your financial advisor about how this could impact your pension.
🌟 Positive Mindset
Downsizing is all about a positive mindset and focusing on what you truly need versus what you want. It's like saving for your first home all over again, but this time with a twist.
📦 Declutter and Organise
Decluttering is key! Go through your stuff room by room and decide what to keep, discard, donate, or sell. You'll be amazed at how liberating it feels to let go of the excess.
🏡 Maximise Your Space
With less space, it’s crucial to make every inch count. Measure your furniture to ensure it fits and consider using one statement piece per room. Smart storage solutions are your best friend – think under-bed storage, wall-mounted TVs, and multi-purpose furnishings.
Once you’ve settled into your cosy new space, you’ll love the newfound simplicity and joy that comes with downsizing. Here’s to new adventures and a hassle-free future! 🌈✨
