Cleaning curtains

[blunomore]

Is it possible to wash / clean curtains whilst they are hanging, i.e. without removing? I have heard of this but have never had it done.

Anyone with experience or with a name of a service provider?

The curtains are quite heavy and the alternative would be to get someone to come out, remove the curtains, go wash them at their premises and hang them again.

Also, who would be best to contact to fix curtain railings?

Thanks

I think the cleaning process would be steam cleaning, try yellow pages. Or wait here for someone to find it for you

Thanks, will search for someone who does steam cleaning

these quite heavy curtains, once damp from the cleaning process, will be quite heavy plus a bit.

ask me how I know...the curtain rails pulled out of the wall.

That's why I am really hoping for a few sunny days ... that will also help them dry faster.

A bit off-topic ... but can someone refer me to a decent supplier of heavy duty curtain tracks in Gauteng (pref. Pretoria/Midrand) ?

Not referring to Builders Warehouse c-track rods.
