Enjoy a cleaner, healthier home by Christmas
With Christmas just a few sleeps away, many of us are expecting visitors and want our homes to look their best. Giving your curtains a professional clean will not only allow them to appear great, but will help keep your home healthy too. This is especially important in these unprecedented times.
Apart from opening and closing them, we often don’t think much about these hard-working furnishings. Yet if they are sitting in humid conditions, like our Auckland summers, curtains can often become a fertile breeding ground for mould or mildew.
If your curtains have been looking off-colour or you suspect they might have mildew, Eliza Biris of Textile Curtain Cleaning suggests taking a closer look. ‘‘A lot of people don’t want their curtains cleaned in winter, as they want them closed to keep out the cold and don’t want them removed,’’ she says.
‘‘With summer upon us and Christmas around the corner, it’s the obvious thing to do at this time of year to ensure your curtains are given a fresh and healthy facelift.’’
Having cleaned thousands of curtains, drapes and roller blinds across Auckland in its 21+ years of operating, Textile Curtain Cleaning should be your first point of call for all your curtain cleaning needs – no matter how big or small.
Eliza and the Textile team offer the full service, including taking down your curtains or blinds, then hanging them up again after cleaning. Alternatively, clients can deliver the curtains/ blinds and then collect them when ready – saving the customer a significant amount.
Textile Curtain Cleaning can also provide replacement curtains while your drapes are being cleaned to keep your home warm and private.
While experts in handling spills or accidents (including bizarre cases of bird poo on the curtains and exploding watermelons), cleaning drapery with mildew is a major part of their work, says Eliza.
‘‘Mildew is a major health concern within Auckland because the area has got the perfect conditions for it to grow. Not only does it eventually damage the curtains, it’s not good for respiratory problems.’’
‘‘As soon as you see the mildew, it’s a good time to get your drapes cleaned before it does further damage to the curtains and your health.’’
Also, don’t forget that we are still living in the backdrop of the pandemic. According to the World Health Organisation, having a clean, sanitised and disinfected environment can help control the spread of diseases such as Covid19.
Like everyone else, the hard working staff at Textile Cleaning deserve a well-deserved holiday. Their Christmas-new Year shut down begins midday December 24 and they will reopen January 10.
