The cleaning process
For cleaning your curtains, “steaming” is not actually the correct term. Your curtains are chemically cleaned in our dry cleaning machine. Your curtains go into a large enclosed machine. It looks like a very large washing machine. However, with dry cleaning does, no water is used but a special liquid.
We at gordijnenstomen.nl use the liquid “KWL”. This is the most environmentally friendly liquid available on the market!
Many other companies still use, for example, “PER” (Perchlorethylene).
PER is a very chemical liquid that is harmful to the environment and your health. It can also be very aggressive to your curtains. It can cause your curtains to lose their beautiful color, have a strong smell and become gray and rought to the touch.
On the other hand, “KWL” is a very mild liquid that is almost odorless, which ensures that the beautiful colors are preserved and your curtains feel very soft after cleaning. And this is exactly what you want!
After the cleaning process “steaming”, the curtains are manually pressed “ironed” on our special pressing machine. With this, we press out all the wrinkles in the curtains. So that they hang wrinkle-free in front of your windows again.
