Beware of the claims of companies selling
chemical Curtain Cleaners.
There are companies out there selling a chemical product they call a curtain cleaner.
A curtain cleaner it is not. The product will remove and temporally control the bacteria that cause mildew on curtains. Mostly this is on the lining but not always. Its similar to a product you would spray on cobblestones.
The chemical product can cause damage to fabrics especially if left to dry on the fabric. It can also comeback to life if allowed to dry on a fabric which is later washed and in doing so can damage or bleach the colour out of the fabric.
The most important point of the claim about these curtain cleaners though, is it is not a curtain cleaner but a stain remover and mould killer.
To clean a curtain it needs washing or perhaps dry cleaning. All the chemical Curtain Cleaners dos is remove the mildew and mildew stain on the patches that it is applied to. It does not remove any other stains, grease, hand creams, oils, dirt, dust, odours, cat and dog rubbings and hair, fly dirt, insect dirt. and all those other hazards that are part of a curtains life.
Facetious claims of stitching coming undone during handling, curtains being damaged (which is what this product can do), are just that.
Many people spend thousands of dollars on curtains and expect specialist advice on cleaning and care of their curtains.
Curtain Cleaners.co.nz are those specialists.
Been there and done that. Not pleased at all.
