Curtains are one of the most overlooked soft furnishings in the home — yet they collect dust, allergens, pet hair, mould spores and odours every single day. Over time, dirty curtains affect your indoor air quality, trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, and make your home feel less fresh no matter how well everything else is cleaned.
At South Clean, we provide professional on-site curtain cleaning across all Melbourne suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. In most cases we clean your curtains while they are still hanging — no removal, no rehinging, no hassle. Our certified technicians use specialist curtain cleaning methods and eco-friendly products that are safe for all curtain fabrics including sheer, blockout, velvet, linen and more.
We service homes and businesses 7 days a week including weekends and public holidays. Same-day bookings available.

One of the biggest barriers to getting curtains cleaned is the hassle of removing, transporting and rehinging them. South Clean eliminates that problem entirely. In most cases we clean your curtains on-site while they remain hanging — saving you significant time and effort while still delivering a thorough professional result.
For very heavily soiled curtains or specialist fabrics that require off-site treatment, we will advise you at the time of inspection and arrange the most appropriate solution.
Step 1 — Fabric Assessment We inspect the curtain fabric type, lining, construction and condition — identifying any staining, discolouration or delicate areas before selecting the right cleaning method and products.
Step 2 — Dry Vacuuming A gentle dry vacuum removes loose dust, pet hair, pollen and surface debris from both sides of the curtain before wet cleaning begins.
Step 3 — Pre-Treatment A fabric-appropriate pre-treatment solution is gently applied to break down staining agents, body oils and embedded grime without damaging the fabric or lining.
Step 4 — Spot & Stain Treatment Individual stains, marks and discolouration are treated with targeted solutions selected for the stain type and fabric.
Step 5 — Professional Steam Cleaning Using specialist curtain cleaning equipment, we deep clean the curtain fabric using a controlled steam and extraction method that removes dust mites, allergens, bacteria and odour-causing residue from within the fibres — without over-wetting or damaging the fabric.
Step 6 — Deodorising & Sanitising (if selected) A professional anti-bacterial treatment and deodoriser is applied, killing bacteria and neutralising all odours including pet smells, cooking odours and mustiness.
Step 7 — Final Inspection We inspect the finished result with you before leaving to make sure you are completely satisfied.
South Clean cleans all major curtain types including:
Please note: Some curtain fabrics may experience minor shrinkage (5–10%) after cleaning, which is standard industry practice. We will always advise you of any risks before beginning and assess each curtain individually.

Do you remove the curtains to clean them? In most cases no. We clean curtains on-site while they remain hanging — saving you the hassle of removal and rehinging. For specialist fabrics or heavily soiled curtains requiring off-site treatment, we will advise you at inspection.
Will my curtains shrink? Some shrinkage between 5–10% is considered normal for fabric curtains and is standard industry practice. We assess every curtain individually before cleaning and will advise you of any risk before we start.
How long does curtain cleaning take? Most curtains can be cleaned in 30–60 minutes per room depending on curtain size, fabric type and number of panels. We will give you an estimated time when booking.
How long until my curtains are dry? Most curtains dry within 2–4 hours. We recommend keeping windows slightly open and fans running to speed up drying. Avoid closing curtains until completely dry.
Can you remove mould from curtains? Yes. We treat mould-affected curtains with specialist anti-mould solutions. Results depend on the extent of the mould and the fabric condition. We will assess before starting and give you an honest expectation.
Can you clean curtains as part of an end of lease clean? Absolutely. Curtain cleaning can be combined with our end of lease carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, rug cleaning and mattress cleaning for a complete end of lease package. Booking multiple services saves you money — call for a combined quote.
Are your cleaning products safe for all curtain fabrics? Yes. We use eco-friendly, fabric-appropriate cleaning products selected specifically for each curtain type. All products are safe for children and pets once dry.
Are your technicians insured and certified? Yes. All South Clean technicians are fully insured and certified.
Clean curtains make a bigger difference to your home’s feel and air quality than most people realise. South Clean makes it easy — we come to you, clean without removing, and leave your curtains fresh, clean and allergen-free.
