Machine Washing

Machine washable curtains are generally suitable for lighter fabrics, as those made of thicker fabric will retain moisture and may experience shrinkage issues after the wash. Furthermore, the type of fabric used is important - those with delicate cotton or similar materials should be carefully considered before choosing to machine-wash them.

If you do choose to machine-wash your draperies from Curtains Dubai, then it's best to use a gentle cycle at most (especially if they are being washed with other items), but avoid using softeners and powders that might affect their performance in due course. In some cases, hand washing may also be suitable depending on how delicate/thick your curtains are; however this decision would need careful consideration based on individual circumstances.

Washing By Hand

Many fabric manufacturers advise hand washing as it is best for delicate fabrics that would otherwise be damaged by the rigours of a machine wash. It also reduces the risk of shrinkage, which means you have to be extra careful when following these instructions and paying attention to any specific care tags. Bear in mind that most materials from Curtains UAE come with instructions for hand-washing and that it's important to follow them all so you get optimal results from your cleaning routine. Failure to do so could lead to issues like uncomfortable laundry, lost or ruined items due to improper washing, or damage done through shrinking caused by using too hot water.


Steam Cleaning

For those with heavy curtains, using a steam cleaner is the best way to clean them. Steam cleaners don't soak in water like traditional washing machines or showers; they're just as effective and run more slowly from top-down. Take appropriate precautions including wearing gloves while cleaning because steam cleaners have the capacity to burn your skin if misused.
