What curtains covers

Curtains collect dust, smoke and kitchen grease without anyone noticing, until they are cleaned. Take them down, leave the hooks in or out, and we do the rest.

We check each pair's fabric and lining first. Some are washed, some need dry cleaning, and we tell you which before we start.

Before you hand it over: Measure your curtains before you send them so you can check they have not shrunk. Tell us if they are lined or blackout.
