Nobody Cleans Their Curtains, and the Reason Is Always the Same

Taking curtains down is a two-person job with a ladder, and rehanging them straight afterwards is worse. So they hang there quietly filtering every bit of airborne dust in the house, year after year.

Rowville is family-home territory. Most of it went up between the eighties and the early two thousands, which means big brick-veneer houses on generous blocks, double garages, and a lot of wall-to-wall carpet through bedrooms, hallways and a second living area.

Those floor plans are the reason our Rowville jobs are usually whole-house rather than one room. There is simply more carpeted area under one roof here than in an inner-suburb terrace, and it is nearly always the same story: bedrooms fine, hallway and family room worn grey through the middle.

Almost every house in Rowville runs ducted heating, and a lot of them have never had the ductwork looked at. That matters more than people expect, because roof-space dust delivered through the vents settles straight back into the carpet you have just paid to clean.

Weight is the reason curtains hold so much. A single full-length lined drop can weigh several kilograms, and the fabric is effectively a vertical filter sitting in the path of every air current in the room. Dust does not fall off it, it works into the weave and stays there.

The heading tape at the top collects the worst of it, because that is where the fabric bunches into permanent folds. It is also the part nobody can see from inside the room, which is why curtains that look acceptable from the sofa are still releasing dust every time they are drawn.
