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.

Tullamarine sits beside the airport, a mix of post-war and seventies homes plus newer estates, with a lot of households working shifts around the airport and the freight businesses nearby.

Shift work is worth mentioning because it changes what people need from a booking. We work seven days and can usually fit around a roster rather than insisting on a weekday morning, which matters more here than in most suburbs.

The other local factor is dust. Open ground, wind off the flats and constant traffic movement around the airport precinct mean noticeably more airborne grit settling on curtains, blinds and upholstery than in the leafier eastern suburbs.

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.

Open out a pleat and look at the fabric inside the fold. It has been shielded, and the colour difference against the exposed face is usually more than people expect. That difference is exactly what comes out, and cleaning on the rail means the hang and the hem line stay precisely where they are.
