Curtain Cleaning FAQs

How much does curtain cleaning cost?

Curtains are priced per metre of track, based on the drop. Standard curtains and drapes are $80 per metre for drops up to 2.4 m, and blinds start at $35 per square metre. Take-down, cleaning and rehanging are all included, with no callout fee. See our full price list.

How do I measure my curtains for a quote?

Measure the width of the curtain track and the height of the curtain from top to bottom. For Roman, Austrian and roller blinds, measure the width and height, as blinds are priced per square metre. For pelmets, swags and valances, just measure from left to right.

Is the quote free?

Yes. We give free quotes over the phone or by email.

Can you clean our curtains where they hang?

No. A proper dry clean needs the equipment in our purpose-built plant, and it can't be brought to your home. That's why we take your curtains down, clean them at our plant and rehang them.

Can you recommend someone to clean them in my home?

No. In-home cleaning isn't comparable to professional dry cleaning. Products sold for home "dry cleaning" don't clean between the fabric and the lining or behind your curtains, and they may not shift stains.

Are my curtains likely to shrink?

Professionally made curtains usually carry a label allowing for up to 3% shrinkage. Our system keeps that risk low, so shrinkage is unlikely in most cases. We measure your curtains before and after cleaning.

How long will my curtains be away?

Allow 5 to 10 working days from take-down to rehang. Many jobs are quicker: down on a Monday, back up by Friday. If you need privacy in the meantime, we can supply temporary block-out curtains for a small fee.

Do you take them down and put them back up?

Yes. Take-down and rehang are included in every curtain clean, so you never need a ladder.

Will my curtains smell of chemicals afterwards?

No. They're aired after cleaning and deodorised at no extra charge.

How often should I clean my curtains?

We recommend a professional clean every five years, or sooner in busy rooms and homes with a wood heater. It's a good idea to have your tracks serviced at the same time.

Can you remove mould from curtains?

Often, yes. We separate the lining from the face fabric, treat the mould, then finish with a deep dry clean. We assess first and tell you if the fabric can be saved. Wiping window frames with 80% white vinegar and 20% water helps stop it coming back.

Do you clean blinds?

Yes. We clean Roman, roller, Venetian, vertical and Austrian blinds. See blind cleaning.

Do you repair curtain tracks?

Yes. We repair and install tracks and rails, often while your curtains are down for cleaning. Repairs are quoted separately and always optional. See track services.

Do you clean doonas, rugs and cushions?

Yes. Our household care range covers doonas, blankets, underlays, rugs, pillows, cushions and household linen.

Can you help after a fire or flood?

Yes. With the Master Dry Cleaners restoration team, we restore fire, smoke and water damaged soft furnishings and clothing, including insurance work. See fire and flood damage.

What areas do you cover?

We clean for homes and businesses right across Melbourne, plus Geelong. See all the suburbs we cover.
