Curtains, as an important part of home decoration, not only provide privacy protection and light adjustment but also make the home warmer, more fashionable, and romantic with exquisite and high-end designs. As people's pursuit of home decoration quality increases, the market demand for high-end curtains is also growing, and consumers are becoming increasingly picky about the types and fabrics of high-end curtains. However, many consumers neglect the maintenance and dust removal of curtains.
Currently, there are many types of fabrics for high-end curtains on the market. The fabric textures include pure cotton, linen, polyester, silk, or blends of several raw materials. Lightweight, thin, transparent or semi-transparent fabrics include cotton, polyester-cotton blends, glass yarn, fine mesh fabrics, lace, and batiste; medium-thickness opaque fabrics include patterned cotton, nylon and its blends, and loose mesh fabrics; smooth fabrics include polished printed cotton, glazed cotton, antique satin, silk, and ripple silk.
Precious fabrics can create a sense of luxury in a room, but there is no need to spend a lot of money chasing extravagance, as long as the fabric matches the level of the room's furnishings. Additionally, the texture of the fabric has an important impact on the style and atmosphere of the interior; for example, thin and transparent materials give a cool feeling, while coarse textures create a warm ambiance.
Choosing high-end curtains requires care, and the subsequent maintenance and cleaning of curtains are equally important. Many consumers leave their curtains hanging for a year, and some families do not wash them even for two or three years. Recently, a media survey on "curtain cleaning" was conducted with over ten thousand participants; nearly 70% said they clean their curtains, but almost 60% clean them only once a year or less, and do not clean regularly.
The curtains closest to the window are the first to collect dust from outside. If hung for years without cleaning, they accumulate a large amount of dust and dust mites, especially dark-colored curtains. Poor indoor ventilation or damp walls can also promote the growth of mold or other bacteria, which is a significant cause of poor indoor air quality.
Therefore, it is recommended to wipe the curtains with a clean damp cloth every one or two weeks to remove dust, especially in homes with children or pets, where a thorough cleaning every six months is necessary. Curtains can be washed directly in the washing machine or dry cleaned. After washing, hang them in a sunny place to dry before use, or hang them directly; this not only facilitates drying but also acts as a free air "humidifier." Remember never to spin-dry or tumble-dry curtains in the washing machine, as this can cause deformation. If someone in the household has respiratory or other infectious diseases, it is best to disinfect the curtains before cleaning.
When choosing curtain materials, it is best to avoid cotton curtains because cotton is softer and more likely to attract dirt. It is recommended to choose synthetic fiber materials with better breathability. Also, curtain styles should not be too complicated; the simpler, the better. Complex curtains with window screens, curtains, valances, and decorations easily accumulate dust particles and bacteria, which are the main culprits causing respiratory and other diseases.
Aifengstin Decoration Materials reminds everyone not to hang new curtains immediately after purchase; it is best to wash them first. New curtains contain wrinkle-resistant and flame-retardant agents that release formaldehyde, which is harmful to health.
Little knowledge:
Key points for cleaning high-end curtains: they can be wiped with a damp cloth or washed with neutral detergent by hand or machine as usual. After cleaning, avoid spin-drying or tumble-drying; instead, air dry naturally to preserve the texture. Curtains made of special materials are best sent to dry cleaners to prevent deformation.
People's pursuit of home decoration quality is increasing, and the market demand for high-end curtains is growing. Consumers are becoming more selective about the types and fabrics of high-end curtains, but many neglect the maintenance and dust removal of curtains.
