Curtains increase the quality of the ambience of our home. It shows our test, how artistic we are and of course reveals our personality. However, though it is an important garment for our household, it still remains neglected compared to other garments like pants, shirts, ties, coats and jackets etc. We are used to caring for our attire which we have to wear every day but we don\u2019t usually care for our curtains. But remember they protect from germs and diseases by restraining dust and dirt.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for a healthy and hygienic life besides other garments, we should prioritize <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/service\/home-bedding-service\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">curtain cleaning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. Now we will focus on the unknown danger of dirty curtains. Some potential danger of dirty curtains is-\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Dust Mite and Allergens in Dirty Curtains<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, we use curtains beside doors and windows. That means they are more likely to be exposed to the outside weather. It works like a shield of our house or wherever we use it and face dust, dirt, cold breeze, direct sunlight and heat. As a result, it bears more load than any other garments in our house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Curtain is like a magnet. It attracts dust mites and allergens as a magnet attracts <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-anerley\">iron<\/a>. Since a curtain is made from fabric, it accumulates these tiny atoms like dust and allergens quickly. Sometimes, We use cotton-made curtains which are the worst defenders of dust and tiny objects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust mites and <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/choosing-the-right-laundry-service-for-sensitive-skin-and-allergies-a-comprehensive-guide\/\">allergens are pathogenic<\/a>. They can easily be inhaled by humans and cause sneezing, coughing, and runny noses which endanger our respiratory system. Plus, they are allergic too! Our skin can badly react against dust mites and allergens.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid these unwanted dust and allergens, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.whatsapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Hamlet Laundry<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommends &#8211;<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><b><i>Brushing up the curtains at least 2 times a month and cleaning them at least 4 times a year.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote><h2><b>Breed Mold and Mildews<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mold and mildews are, basically, fungi. They produce in damp, humid and wet conditions. A curtain can be an ideal place to grow molds in the presence of dust and moisture. Because dust and wet conditions help them thrive to increase their population. Thus a dirty curtain helps to breed mold and mildews on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some of us use curtains beside a bathtub or in the bathroom. As we know a bathroom has always been a wet place so mold can grow there easily and thus weaken our curtain\u2019s fabric. Consequently, we lose our expensive investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Hamlet <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-berrylands\">laundry<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in that case, suggests that <\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><b><i>\u201cTo maintain a hygienic environment in a shower-room, people should <a href=\"https:\/\/hamletlaundry.com\/blog\/best-laundry-service-and-dry-cleaning-in-canary-wharf\">clean<\/a> curtains at least once in a month that are in the moist area\u201d.<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><h2><b>Virus and Bacteria\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/health-topics\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Covid-19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has shown us our failings and drawbacks in health and hygiene. Anyway, dirty garments like dirty curtains are most vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. A dirty curtain is also an ideal place to grow viruses and bacteria like mold and fungi. We know how dangerous viruses can be in the recent pandemic around the world. A small dirty curtain can endanger our and our family\u2019s lives too.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to be safe and secure curtain cleaning should be a most prioritized task as laundry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Pest and Bugs<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Dirty is an ideal place for pests and bug-like insects. Insects and bugs take shelter on the curtain at night and spread poisonous chemicals. Thus the fabric quality gradually of a curtain got contaminated and lost its quality over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Spreads Bad Smell<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curtains are, generally, used to decorate the interior part of a house. But what if they ruined one\u2019s impression instead?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s exactly what dirty curtains do. As dirt, dust mites, mold, bacteria, germ and fungus-like organisms invade their surface they become contaminated and hence spread a bad smell. This bad smell might ruin your guest\u2019s impression towards you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to get rid of this embarrassing situation then visit here.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Threatening for Old people\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every old man is like a child, they need extra care like a baby. If you have a dirty curtain in your house it can spread diseases. For instance, it can easily harm elderly people\u2019s respiratory systems who live in your house. As a result, asthma, chronic cough, tuberculosis and even lung cancer can be suffered by these people which are life-threatening!<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Harmful to Toddlers&#8217; Health\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids are the most beloved and adored humans in every house. They are curious humans. They want to test everything! Dirty curtains can be harmful to toddlers\u2019 health in this sense. Because they love to explore and toddle over the house. If they push a dirty curtain into their mouth at once, germs and dust will easily enter through their nostrils and will sabotage their respiratory system. Not only that, one of the chances is that dirty curtains can harm their skin too.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Solution<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the problems with a dirty curtain are many, the solution for that is quite simple.
