Specialised washing with safety guarantee for every fabric type. ## Curtains are long-term residents of your home. And the biggest dust collectors. Nobody washes curtains monthly. Sometimes they hang for years, collecting dust, allergens and odours. By windows with radiators underneath. In rooms where we cook or smoke. When the day finally comes to take them down and wash them, a question arises: do it yourself at home or take them to the laundry? The first option sounds simpler. Until you see a shrunken net curtain that barely reaches half the window. Last updated: 6 October 2026 ## What can go wrong when washing curtains at home ### Curtain shrank and doesn't fit the window Too high a temperature, the wrong programme, or too fast a spin can shrink delicate fabric quite a bit. The curtain sometimes ends up noticeably smaller and no longer fits the window. ### Colour faded even more than from the sun Curtains hanging by the window for years faded unevenly in the sun. After home washing, colour differences become even more visible. Instead of refreshment you get mottled fabric. ### Delicate fabric tore or got damaged Voiles, tulles, organzas, jacquards. These materials don't handle mechanical drum washing well. A cycle in an ordinary washing machine can tear fibres, leave snags, or damage embroidery. That's why it's worth entrusting curtains to someone who knows the difference between voile and jacquard and doesn't treat them like kitchen rags. ## How we wash your curtains Six steps that separate clean curtains from ruined curtains 1. **Fabric type and curtain condition assessment**: We check what material the curtains are made of, how soiled they are and if they have any damage. This determines the entire washing process. 2. **Vacuuming and beating before washing**: Years of dust won't dissolve in water, it'll just turn to mud. First we mechanically remove dry dirt from curtains. 3. **Washing at proper temperature and programme**: Every fabric type has its requirements. We wash delicate nets differently than heavy blackout curtains. No improvisation. 4. **Controlled drying without shrinkage**: We don't hang wet curtains on the balcony. Drying in professional conditions, at temperature and time suited to the fabric. 5. **Mangling or ironing to smoothness**: Curtains return perfectly smooth, without creases. Ready to hang. No wrinkled nets hanging for a week until they straighten out. 6. **Quality control before release**: We verify curtains are clean, undamaged and the same size as before washing. No surprises after getting home. ## Why it's worth bringing curtains to us Because the difference between a laundry and a coin-op in a building isn't just about price - **We know different types of window fabrics**: Nets, voiles, jacquards, blackout curtains, tulles, organzas. Each requires a different approach. We have experience with all of them. - **We handle all home textiles**: Not just curtains. We also wash nets, textile blinds, bedspreads, decorative pillows. Everything that hangs, covers or decorates. - **Fast turnaround, because you don't want to wait weeks**: We understand bare windows don't look good. Standard turnaround is 48 hours, not weeks. - **Safety guarantee for your fabrics**: If something goes wrong, we take responsibility. We don't send you away empty-handed with excuses. ## Professional curtain washing Price set individually after fabric inspection Price from 12 PLN/m².

More than it seems. The biggest problem is shrinkage - some fabrics can pull in by 15-20 cm, leaving a net curtain that barely reaches half the window. Voiles, tulles and organzas don't survive a spin in the drum either: holes, snags, ruined embroidery. And years of dust in hot water turns to mud that smears across the whole fabric. We dry-vacuum curtains first, then match the programme to the material. ### How much does curtain and net washing cost? Prices start from 12 PLN/m². We charge per square metre of fabric, because no two curtains are equal - a light net is one thing, a heavy lined blackout is another. The price also depends on the material and how soiled it is. We give you a concrete figure after inspecting the fabric, and you'll find the full list in the pricing section. And yes - we speak English, so it's easy to arrange. ### How do you measure the metres - what sets the price? We measure the fabric area: width times height of the curtain, in square metres. That's why two curtains from the same window can cost differently - a thick, gathered blackout holds more material than an airy net. The rate per metre depends on the fabric type. At drop-off we measure and tell you the amount right away, so there are no surprises at pickup. ### Will you pick curtains up from my home? Yes, we offer pickup and delivery across Lublin. Heavy, large curtains are a real hassle - you have to take them down, pack them, bring them over, then collect and rehang them. We can take part of that off your hands, which people without a car and seniors especially appreciate. Just call and book a time - we'll handle the rest. ### How long does curtain washing take? Standard turnaround is 48 hours. We understand bare windows don't look good and nobody wants to wait weeks - so we hold to the deadline we give you. For larger orders or exceptionally delicate fabrics it can take a little longer; if so, we tell you at drop-off, not at pickup. ### I have expensive organza curtains. Won't you ruin them? That's exactly why it's worth handing them to someone who knows the difference between voile and jacquard. We start by assessing the fabric and condition, wash delicate materials on a gentle programme and dry them in controlled conditions, not on a balcony. And if something does go wrong through our fault, we take responsibility - we won't send you off with excuses.
