Curtains taken down, washed thoroughly, dried properly, and rehung straight. That job you've been meaning to do for six months? Consider it done.
### The Job Nobody Wants To Do
Let's face it - **washing curtains is a massive faff.** Taking them down without tearing the hooks, manhandling wet fabric into the machine, trying to dry something that size, then the worst bit: getting back up the ladder to rehang them while they're still damp and heavy.
It's been on your to-do list for months. I'll sort it in an afternoon.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Curtains should really be washed once a year - they collect more dust and cooking smells than you'd think. Spring cleaning season is perfect timing.

Good to Know
> 🧼 **Stubborn marks?** Let me know before I start. Some stains need pre-treatment or professional dry cleaning - better to know upfront than discover it after washing. **Multiple rooms?** Do them all at once - I'm already set up with ladders and cleaning kit. You'll save time and money doing several windows together. **Older curtains in Exeter's period properties?** I'm used to working with heavy lined curtains and old tracks that need gentle handling. Your Victorian drapes are safe with me.
Frequently Asked Questions about Curtain washing help in Dawlish
What's actually involved in this service?
I take your curtains down from the track or pole, wash them (either in your machine or I can take them away), dry them properly, then rehang them nice and straight. The fiddly hooks, the ladder work, the inevitable ironing - all sorted for you.
Can you wash the curtains at my house?
If they fit in your washing machine, yes - I'll run them through while doing the other bits. For larger or more delicate curtains, I can take them away for proper cleaning and return them when they're dry and ready to rehang.
Will you clean the curtain track while they're down?
Yes - it makes sense to give the track or pole a wipe down while it's empty. Gets rid of all that dust that builds up. No extra charge, just part of the job done properly.
What if my curtains need ironing after washing?
Most modern curtains don't need it if they're dried right, but if yours do I'll give them a quick press before rehanging. Heavy lined curtains usually hang out nicely once they're back up anyway.
How long will my windows be bare?
If washing on-site, usually just 2-3 hours total. If I take them away for proper cleaning, they'll be gone a day or two. I can work around your schedule - some people prefer to have them back same day, others don't mind waiting.
