Curtain cleaning
Curtains and drapes shape how a room feels, filter light, and over time collect dust, odours, and everyday soiling. Professional curtain cleaning preserves fabrics, colours, and drape — and significantly extends the life of your home textiles. At Tex-RIMA in Effretikon we clean curtains of all kinds with methods matched to material and weave. From tulle and linen to velvet and silk.
Professional curtain cleaning for every fabric
Curtains differ greatly in material, weave, colour, and construction — and therefore need individual care. At Tex-RIMA we treat tulle and voile curtains, heavy decorative fabrics, blackout drapes, blinds, roller shades, and mixed-fibre combinations. Customers in Effretikon and the Zurich region trust us with their home textiles because we bring experience with delicate fabrics and inspect every curtain carefully before treatment.
Dust, nicotine residue, kitchen vapours, pet hair, and allergens settle in fibres over months. Regular cleaning — depending on use, every one to three years — keeps curtains fresh, bright, and hygienic. Especially in households with allergy sufferers or rooms with heavy outside exposure, professional care noticeably reduces dust and mites.
Not every curtain suits the same method: light tulle tolerates different processes than heavy velvet drapes or fine silk. We consider care labels, colour fastness, coatings, and existing damage. At drop-off we discuss condition, your expectations, and the expected scope of work.
Process: drop-off, cleaning, and return
You can drop off curtains at our Effretikon location during opening hours. Where possible, remove hooks, heavy metal parts, or detachable fittings before drop-off if this can be done without damage. Point out particular stains or areas that need extra attention.
After intake curtains are sorted by material and treated with the appropriate cleaning process. Depending on fabric, gentle wet methods, specialised dry cleaning, or combinations may be used. The goal is always to remove soiling without fading colours, felting fabrics, or permanently affecting drape. After cleaning, curtains are dried carefully and prepared for return.
Once your curtains are ready we inform you. You can collect them at our shop during opening hours. Before rehanging at home we recommend light steaming or folding if needed so they regain their original form. We are happy to advise on aftercare.
When is curtain cleaning worthwhile?
A common occasion is spring or autumn cleaning when curtains are refreshed after a long hanging period. Many households also invest in professional cleaning after renovations, when moving into a new home, or before special events. Visible stains, discolouration, musty odours, or heavy dust are clear signs that cleaning is overdue.
Across the Zurich region we serve private homes as well as property managers, landlords, and commercial clients. For apartment buildings or larger properties we are happy to prepare individual quotes. That allows larger volumes to be handled efficiently and on schedule.
Regular care protects your investment: quality curtains can last many years with good treatment. Professional cleaning costs a fraction of premature replacement. We help you judge whether cleaning is enough or whether a fabric, because of age and wear, needs other measures.

Frequently asked questions about curtain cleaning
Which curtains can Tex-RIMA clean?
We clean tulle, voile, fabric, velvet, linen, and silk curtains as well as blinds and many mixed weaves. At drop-off we check material and condition and choose the right method. If unsure, we are happy to advise beforehand.
Do I have to take the curtains down myself?
Usually yes — curtains should be taken down and prepared for transport before drop-off. Contact us if you need advice on handling heavy or bulky fabrics.
How long does curtain cleaning take?
Depending on material and workload, processing usually takes one to two weeks. Larger volumes or delicate fabrics may take slightly longer. We tell you the expected date at drop-off.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
As a guide we recommend every one to three years, depending on dust exposure, smoking in the home, pets, and allergies. For visible stains or odours, do not wait too long — earlier cleaning better preserves fabric and colour.
