How to Measure.

Curtains are constructed of panels, usually the width of the material off the roll. These panels are sewn together to form the curtain and each panel is called ‘a drop”, so a curtain can have from one up to any number of drops and may have part drops. A drop maybe from1200mm to 1500mm wide.
To count the drops they are best counted by checking along the hem at the back of the curtain for the number of seams that run from the hem to the top of the curtain.

Where the curtains have no discernable vertical joins, measure the width of the curtain at the bottom hem and divide by 1400mm.
The vertical measurement is from the bottom of the curtain to the top and we price in 500mm intervals, i.e. up to 500mm, up to 1.0 meters, up to 1.5mtr, up to 2.0 meter and so on.
So, to estimate the price to have your curtain cleaned you will need to determine which category the curtains fall into, the vertical height and the number of drops to be cleaned. From this information you can look at the price chart and determine the estimate.

Nets.
 Measure the length of the hem at the bottom of the curtain and the height. There are only two categories for nets; up to 2,0 mtrs height and more than 2.0 mtrs. Again refer to the price chart.

Roman and Austrian Blinds.
Price again is determined by size. Let the blinds down to the bottom of their strings and measure the width and height. Blinds are priced in 400mm increments so go to the chart and find the nearest match. ( For estimates go up to the next bracket to be sure of your price.)

Tie Backs.
 It pays to clean the curtain ties at the same time as your curtains otherwise they will leave a tidemark around your nice clean curtains.
There are two types of ties. Plain, fancy. Refer to price list for estimate.

Valances.
 These are priced per meter of gathered length as hung on the track or pelmet.

For curtains and blinds that you cannot find listed please ring us or email us (with a photo if possible) and we will respond to your question.

Curtains with sewn on stripes.
 These curtains often have to have the stripes removed to best clean them. We do not know until the fabric is tested. So for initial pricing purposes, use the price category shown.

If the curtains do not need the stripes removed, they will be charged as normal curtains in the category they belong.

Freight.
 All curtains couriered from Curtain Clean, either directly to sender or to agents, incur a freight cost at the appropriate rate. Curtains sent via agents will incur freight costs both ways. Ask your agent for an estimate of freight.
