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.
- Care label read and heat tolerance checked on a hem
- Static held dust vacuumed off before any moisture is used
- Greasy leading edges treated with a mild detergent solution
- Steam kept at a distance so the fibre does not glaze
How we carry out polyester curtain cleaning
Most ready made curtains and many blackout fabrics in Abu Dhabi apartments are polyester or a polyester blend. The fibre barely shrinks, so cleaning on the track suits it well. Dust comes off first, because polyester carries a static charge that holds fine sand against the weave. Leading edges, where hands pull the curtain, are treated with a mild detergent solution to break down skin oil. The fabric is then steamed from a short distance and extracted with a low moisture tool, and it usually dries within the hour.
Heat is what ruins polyester. A steamer head held against the cloth, or an iron set for cotton, leaves a shiny glazed patch that cannot be reversed, and creases set by heat stay in. Blackout drops with a foam or acrylic coating on the back are more sensitive still, since the coating softens and sticks to itself when folded warm. During the site visit the fibre content and the backing are checked, and any window where strong afternoon sun has already made the coating brittle or tacky is pointed out.
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.
Polyester Curtain Cleaning in Al Khalidiyah: what we plan for
Al Khalidiyah sits between the Corniche and the centre of Abu Dhabi island and is mostly apartment towers, from established mid rise blocks to taller buildings such as Shining Towers, Al Sawari Tower and Crescent Towers. In the middle of the district, Khalidiya Village is a gated community of villas and townhouses with its own clubhouse, pool and gym.
The district is dense and close to the sea, so humid air comes into apartments every time a balcony door opens. Traffic dust settles on window sills and in AC return grilles, and kitchens in smaller flats build up grease on extractor filters and wall tiles quickly.
Every tower needs a work permit from building management and a service lift booking before a crew can start. Khalidiya Village has gated security, so the resident registers our team ahead of time. What each building asks for is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about polyester curtain cleaning in Al Khalidiyah
What does polyester curtain cleaning include?
Polyester holds its shape when wet but grips oily soil and melts under a hot iron. The MELLS cleans it on the track with controlled steam and extraction, or off site at low heat. The work includes care label read and heat tolerance checked on a hem; static held dust vacuumed off before any moisture is used; greasy leading edges treated with a mild detergent solution.
Why do my polyester curtains still look grey after washing?
Polyester attracts oil, and cooking vapour or hand grease binds dust to the fibre so that a cool machine wash shifts little of it. A detergent treatment on the soiled areas followed by extraction lifts more, though long standing greying in old fabric may only improve.
Is steam safe on blackout polyester?
Yes, at a controlled temperature and from the face side only. The coated back is wiped with a damp cloth and not steamed, because direct heat softens the coating and can make two folds stick together.
How much does polyester curtain cleaning cost in Al Khalidiyah?
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.

How long does polyester curtain cleaning take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for most homes. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in Abu Dhabi, and more often near the coast or next to construction.
Do you take the curtains down?
No. They are cleaned in place, which avoids shrinkage and rehanging. Heavily soiled or lined curtains can be taken for an off site wash if needed.
Is steam safe for blackout and silk curtains?
Blackout linings are cleaned at low temperature. Silk and velvet are cleaned with low moisture methods after a test.
Do you arrange the building permit in Al Khalidiyah?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do you work in Khalidiya Village as well as the towers?
Yes. Khalidiya Village homes are handled as house projects with gardens and pools in scope, while tower apartments are planned around the building permit and the lift booking.
How do I choose a company for polyester curtain cleaning in Al Khalidiyah?

The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
