What is included
Curtains steamed on their tracks and blinds cleaned slat by slat, without the cost and risk of taking them down. Curtains filter the dust that comes through every window and balcony door. We clean them where they hang, so there is no shrinkage, no rehanging and no bare windows.
- Shrinkage and colour run test on a hem or inside return
- Dust vacuumed from face and lining with a soft brush head
- Steam and low moisture extraction, top of the drop to the hem
- Off site wash at the label temperature where soiling is heavy
How we carry out cotton curtain cleaning
Cotton takes up water readily, which is why it cleans well and also why it shrinks. A damp white cloth is pressed on a hidden hem to check for colour run, and a measured strip is wetted and dried to see how far the weave pulls in. Dust is vacuumed out through a soft brush head. Light soiling is then steamed and extracted on the track with the fabric kept only just damp, and the AC and a fan run until the hems are dry. Heavier soiling goes off site for a wash at the label temperature and a press.
Dubai sun bleaches dyed cotton along the leading edges and the folds that face the glass, so a curtain can look striped once the dust comes off. Printed cottons and unlined drops fade fastest. Cotton lining also browns where condensation from cold glass has wetted it over a summer. At the site visit the supervisor measures the drop against the floor, asks whether the fabric was preshrunk when the curtains were made, and records any fading or weak fibre on the survey sheet.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.
Cotton Curtain Cleaning in Al Barsha: what we plan for
Al Barsha combines streets of large private villas in Al Barsha 2 and 3 with the apartment buildings of Al Barsha 1 around Mall of the Emirates. Barsha Heights is a district of residential and office towers, and Al Barsha South includes Arjan, Dubai Science Park and the Villa Lantana compounds. The MELLS office is in Barsha Heights.
Sheikh Zayed Road and Hessa Street carry heavy traffic, so an oily film builds on road facing glass and sills. City dust enters through the AC and settles on high ledges.
Villas are on open streets. Towers in Barsha Heights and Al Barsha 1 need a work permit and a service lift booking, which we arrange.

Questions about cotton curtain cleaning in Al Barsha
What does cotton curtain cleaning include?
Cotton curtains can shrink by several centimetres in a hot wash, so The MELLS tests a hem first and then cleans them on the track with low moisture or off site to the care label. The work includes shrinkage and colour run test on a hem or inside return; dust vacuumed from face and lining with a soft brush head; steam and low moisture extraction, top of the drop to the hem.
Will my cotton curtains shrink?
Untreated cotton can shrink if it is washed hot or tumble dried, which is the reason for the test on a hem before any method is chosen. Where the test shows movement, the curtains are cleaned on the track with low moisture and not washed.
Can cotton curtains go in a washing machine at home?
Small unlined cotton drops often can, if the label allows it and the water is cool. Lined curtains, stiffened headings and anything wider than the drum will crease badly and dry unevenly, and those are better cleaned hanging or sent off site.
How much does cotton curtain cleaning cost in Al Barsha?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
