Curtain Cleaning in Altrincham
Fresh, clean curtains, ready to hang again
Curtains take a lot: sunlight, dust, cooking smells, pets, smoke. Most people don’t notice how tired they look until they’re cleaned. We take them off your hands, clean them properly, and bring them back ready to rehang.
Why people send us their curtains
- They haven’t been cleaned in years
- There’s a smoke, pet or damp smell that won’t go away
- You’re moving, selling or letting a property
- You just want the room to feel fresh again
How we look after them
Every set is different, so we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We look at the fabric and lining first, then choose dry cleaning, wet cleaning, or a mix of both, whichever is safest for your curtains.
Before cleaning, we check for sun damage and worn linings. Older curtains can be fragile, so if we spot anything, we’ll tell you first.
Everything is cleaned here in Altrincham by our own team, not sent away. Each set is finished by hand.

Curtain Cleaning Steps - From Booking to Return
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.
Curtain cleaning collection & delivery
We can collect your curtains from your home and return them once cleaned. Collection is available across WA14, WA15, WA16, M23, M33 and SK9 postcodes. Please contact us if you live a little further away — we’ll do our best to help.

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.
