The dust a new house comes with
Estate homes across Cranbourne West and Cranbourne North are only a few years old, and people are often surprised that anything needs cleaning at all. But new builds carry a specific problem: fine plaster, render and brick dust from construction settles into every soft surface in the house, and it doesn’t leave on its own.
Curtains catch the most of it. They’re the largest fabric surface in the house, they hang still for months at a time, and they sit right where air moves through the room. Then, once the estate is finished, the surrounding open ground keeps sending fine dust their way every windy day until the landscaping matures.
Cleaned where they hang
On the rod, in place, with the drop unchanged.
No unhooking, no ladder, no rehanging. Floor-to-ceiling drops in double-height rooms stay exactly where they are.
Home washing shrinks lined curtains because lining and face fabric shrink at different rates. Controlled moisture on the rod avoids it.
Sheers, blockouts, separate linings, Roman blinds and fabric pelmets each get a method matched to the fabric weight.
And the couch, in the same visit
Upholstery is $40 per seat, fabric tested before anything is applied. A quick check: lift a cushion and compare the fabric underneath to the surface beside it. The protected fabric is roughly the colour your sofa started as, and that gap is soil rather than wear — so it comes out. Dining chairs are the most-forgotten item in the house and usually show the biggest change.

Curtain & upholstery cleaning — FAQs
Do you have to take my curtains down to clean them?
No, in most cases we clean them on the rod. There is no unhooking, no ladder and no rehanging, which matters in estate homes where drops can run floor to ceiling in double-height rooms. Some heavily soiled or very delicate curtains are better cleaned off site, and we will tell you which applies before we start.
Will cleaning shrink my curtains?
Not with on-site cleaning. Lined and backed curtains shrink in a home washing machine because the lining and the face fabric shrink at different rates, leaving an uneven drop and puckered lining that cannot be undone. Cleaning on the rod with controlled moisture at low temperature avoids that entirely.
My house is only a few years old. Do the curtains really need cleaning?
Usually yes, and new builds are a specific case. Fine plaster, render and brick dust from construction settles into every soft surface and does not leave on its own. Curtains catch the most because they are the largest fabric surface, they hang still for months, and open ground around a new estate keeps sending dust their way until the landscaping matures.
How much does curtain cleaning cost in Cranbourne West?
Curtain cleaning starts from $80 per curtain with a minimum call-out of $120. Large or oversized drops are quoted on measurement. Booking curtains together with upholstery or carpet in the same visit costs less than separate call-outs.
Can you clean sheers, blockouts and Roman blinds?
Yes. Sheers, blockouts, heavy drapes and separate linings each need a different moisture level, so they are treated by fabric weight rather than all the same way. Roman blinds and fabric pelmets are usually done in the same visit – mention them when you book.
How much is upholstery cleaning?
Upholstery is $40 per seat. A three-seat sofa is priced as three seats, and armchairs, recliners, dining chairs and fabric headboards are quoted the same simple way. We test the fabric on a hidden section before applying anything.
Do you cover Cranbourne North, Cranbourne East and Clyde?
Yes. We cover Cranbourne West, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne East, Cranbourne, Clyde, Botanic Ridge, Lyndhurst and Junction Village at the same rates – there is no travel surcharge between suburbs.
Curtains never been cleaned?
Done on the rod, no shrinkage, nothing comes down. Fixed price upfront, seven days a week.
