Curtain cleaning you can trust.
Lined and unlined curtains expertly cleaned in house at our Altrincham facility. Pre-checked for sun damage and lining wear before any cleaning begins, with collection and delivery across South Manchester and Cheshire.
Cleaned in-house
Your curtains never leave our care. Cleaning is carried out at our Altrincham facility — never sub-contracted, never sent away.
Pre-cleaning Check
Curtains are checked for sun damage, weakened fabric and lining wear before cleaning. We'll flag any concerns and discuss the best approach with you.
Lined or unlined, any size
From small kitchen curtains to full length lined drops — we handle every type, with no practical size limit.
Collection & Delivery
Free local collection and delivery across Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Sale, Timperley, Wilmslow, Knutsford and surrounding South Manchester and Cheshire postcodes.
At Altrincham Dry Cleaners, we understand that curtains are a significant investment — both financially and in the way they finish a room. Whether you're refreshing curtains after years of use, dealing with smoke or pet odours, or preparing a property for sale, our specialist team will treat your curtains with the care and attention they deserve. We use dry cleaning, wet cleaning, or a combination of both — chosen based on the fabric and lining of each set. All cleaning is carried out in house at our Altrincham premises. Curtains are pre-checked for sun damage and lining wear, hand finished, and returned ready to rehang. Pricing is by the square metre — from £5.95/m² for unlined and £6.95/m² for lined curtains — with collection and delivery throughout South Manchester and Cheshire.

Curtain Cleaning Steps
*FREE pickup within our local collection area (click to check areas covered), subject to £15 minimum order cost. Click the button below or call us on 0161 926 8412.
1. Book & drop off or arrange collection
Call us on 0161 926 8412, send a message, or book online. Bring your curtains to our Altrincham shop on Borough Road, or let us collect them from your home throughout Cheshire and Manchester. Take-down and rehanging available by arrangement (from £50)
2. Inspection & specialist cleaning
Every set is checked for sun damage, weakened fabric and lining wear before cleaning begins — we’ll flag any concerns and confirm with you first. We then choose the most appropriate method for the fabric — dry cleaning, wet cleaning, or a combination of both. All cleaning is carried out in house at our Altrincham facility.
3. Hand finished & returned
Curtains are pressed, carefully folded or hung on hangers, and returned to you ready to rehang. Standard turnaround is 3–5 working days, but we’ll work around your timing for moves, events or property handovers.

Simple Pricing per Square Metre
Curtain cleaning is priced by area. Measure the drop and the width of one curtain, multiply the two, and we’ll quote based on the total square metres. For a pair, just double the figure.
Unlined Curtains
Light cottons, voiles, sheers, and unlined drapes etc.
From £5.95 per sq/m
Lined Curtains
Lined and interlined curtains across all fabric types — heavier and slower to process.
From £6.95 per sq/m
Hanging Service
By arrangement — we’ll quote based on the size, height and number of curtains.
Call to discuss
How long does curtain cleaning take?
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 working days from drop-off or collection. If you need them back sooner — for an event, property handover, or move-in date — let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Will my curtains shirink?
Curtains are cleaned using the method most appropriate for the fabric — dry cleaning for many types, wet cleaning where suitable. We inspect every set before cleaning and will discuss any shrinkage risk with you in advance.
My curtains have sun damage. Can you still clean them?
Possibly — but it’s worth knowing that sun-damaged fabric and perished linings can split during cleaning regardless of the method used. We pre-check every set and will flag any concerns before going ahead, so you can make an informed decision.
Do you take curtains down and rehang them?
This is available by arrangement rather than as standard. There’s a charge from £50 depending on the size, height and number of curtains. Most customers prefer to take their own curtains down or have a curtain fitter or handyman do it.
How do I work out the square metres?
Measure the drop (top to bottom) and the width (one side of the rail to the other), then multiply the two. So a curtain 2m drop × 1.5m wide is 3m². For a pair, just measure one curtain and double it.
Do you offer collection and delivery?
Yes — free local collection and delivery is available across Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Sale, Timperley, Wilmslow, Knutsford and surrounding postcodes (WA14, WA15, WA16, M23, M33, SK9). Outside that area? Get in touch — we’ll do our best to help.
Can you clean very large or full-length curtains?
Yes — there’s no practical size limit for domestic curtains. We routinely handle full-length lined drapes from large windows and bay windows. Give us a call if you’re concerned.
How do I get a quote?
Call us on 0161 926 8412, fill in the contact form, or drop into the shop with the curtains and we’ll measure them on the spot.
Amazing Service! Would 100% recommend. I used the collection option on their website as I don’t have a vehicle and got my items collected and then delivered back clean and folded the next day. Very quick, efficient, friendly service. Thank you
