Curtains are an essential part of our home, and their role is way more than just decoration. Not only do they beautify and soften the whole interior, but they also give you privacy and reduce glaring sun rays from entering your home. Taking good care of your curtains and blinds is key to ensuring them a longer life span. Keeping them clean is also the start of a healthier home environment.
It is common that many often overlook the importance of curtain cleaning services due to their busy life or because they appear to be the least touched item in the house. The recommended cleaning frequency of the curtains and blinds should be every six to twelve months. The fabric and accessories often accumulate impurities such as dust, allergens, pollens as well as household odours. As dirt and impurities accumulate within the fabric, the curtains and blinds may appear dull and dusty to the touch. When neglected, they are also prone to wear and tear.
The following are the 4 benefits of regularly cleaning your curtains and blinds.
1. Removal of accumulated harmful impurities and odour
If you see curtains and blinds as an item that are always clean due to fewer interactions, you are wrong. The fabric easily traps impurities such as dust, pollens and other allergens that are carried by the wind or animals/insects. House lizard droppings are also a common sight among curtains and blinds. If left uncleaned for many months, these will cause the growth of bacteria and in turn affect the health of your loved ones.
Young children would often touch the curtains/blinds during playtime or when looking outside of the window. These accumulated allergens and bacteria will be transferred to their hands/bodies. This could be the start of possible illnesses or diseases such as rashes and skin irritation.
Proper maintenance and regular curtain cleaning services ensure these contaminants are removed from the curtains and blinds. This will enhance the home’s cleanliness and ensure a clean and healthy home.
2. Prevention of moulds
Due to Singapore’s humid and monsoon seasons, moulds can develop on the curtains and blinds. Dirty curtains and blinds are the best breeding grounds for moulds as it is the best condition for them to thrive in. Mould growth should not be taken lightly and requires immediate curtain cleaning and blinds cleaning services as it can potentially cause health issues to you and your loved ones.
Moulds can trigger respiratory issues or asthma. Before allowing them to harm your loved ones, it is advisable to engage professional deep cleaning service to ensure thorough cleaning and removal of the moulds.
3. Ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your guests
Curtains and blinds play an important part in any environment. Be it in your home, or within offices or cafes, they are the key to portraying a positive image about the homeowner or business owner. Over time, they trap dust and especially day curtains turn greyish/black if left uncleaned. In restaurants/cafes, food scent and cooking oil odour will also be caught onto these fabrics. With stinky and dusty curtains and blinds, it will certainly leave a bad first impression on your guests, clients, and visitors.
4. Extending the lifespan of your curtains and blinds
You probably made a substantial investment in your curtains and blinds. Cleaning and caring for them regularly are crucial if you want to maximise the lifespan of your curtains and blinds. The lifespan of the curtains and blinds can be extended by two or even three times by cleaning them with materials, tools, and methods used professionally.
