How much does a curtain cleaning service cost?

The cost of professional curtain cleaning in the UK depends on the curtain’s size, fabric, lining and cleaning method. As a general guide, curtain cleaning can cost around £5 - £15 per square metre for standard curtains, while lined, blackout or delicate curtains can cost more.

For example, current UK pricing guides suggest approximately £4.85 per m² for unlined curtains, £5.60 per m² for lined curtains and around £6.40 per m² for heavy-lined curtains. Blackout curtains may cost considerably more because of their specialist lining.

The final price can also depend on:

• Curtain size and total fabric area

• Fabric type, such as cotton, linen, velvet or silk

• Lining, interlining or blackout coating

• Stains, odours and specialist treatments

• Whether the curtains are cleaned on-site or collected and cleaned professionally

Some companies charge by weight or per curtain rather than square metre, so it is worth asking for a detailed quote before booking.

If you prefer a convenient collection and delivery service, Hello Laundry offers professional laundry and dry cleaning services that can save you the hassle of transporting bulky curtains yourself.

For expensive, delicate or “dry clean only” curtains, professional cleaning is generally safer than putting them in a domestic washing machine, as incorrect washing can cause shrinkage, colour bleeding or damage.
