What is included
Curtains steamed on their tracks and blinds cleaned slat by slat, without the cost and risk of taking them down. Curtains filter the dust that comes through every window and balcony door. We clean them where they hang, so there is no shrinkage, no rehanging and no bare windows.
- Fabric tested for water spotting and heat tolerance
- Vertical steaming from heading to hem on the track
- Hems, leading edges and pleats pressed flat off site if needed
- Folds dressed by hand and left to cool in shape
How we carry out curtain steaming and pressing
Creases come out when the fibre is warmed, relaxed and then allowed to cool in the position it should keep. On the track, the steamer head is passed down the drop from the heading with the fabric held under light tension from the hem, and the curtain is left drawn in even folds until it cools. Fabrics that mark with water are steamed from the lining side. Deep fold lines from packing or storage, and hems that have curled, need a press on a padded table, which is done off site before rehanging.
Steam used carelessly causes its own damage. Too much of it on viscose or silk leaves water spots, a head pressed against velvet crushes the pile, and wet steam on a buckram heading softens the stiffener so pleats sag. In a humid Dubai summer, curtains steamed in a room with the AC off stay damp and crease again as they dry. The site visit identifies the fibre and the heading, and checks if the creasing is from storage or from shrinkage, since puckered seams caused by shrinkage will not steam flat.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Questions about curtain steaming and pressing
What does curtain steaming and pressing include?
Steaming relaxes creases and freshens curtains while they hang. Pressing is done flat on a table off site for headings, hems and linings that steam alone will not set. The work includes fabric tested for water spotting and heat tolerance; vertical steaming from heading to hem on the track; hems, leading edges and pleats pressed flat off site if needed.
Do new curtains need steaming after they are hung?
Most do. Fold lines from packing rarely drop out by themselves in air conditioned rooms, because the air is too dry to relax the fibre. One pass of steam on the track, followed by dressing the folds, usually settles them.
Is steaming the same as cleaning?
No. Steam relaxes creases and freshens the fabric, but it does not carry soil away. Dust has to be vacuumed off first and dirt has to be extracted, otherwise the steam simply moves it deeper into the weave.
How much does curtain steaming and pressing cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides curtain steaming and pressing in Dubai?
The MELLS provides curtain steaming and pressing in Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does curtain steaming and pressing take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours for most homes. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How often should curtains be cleaned?
Once or twice a year in Dubai, and more often near the coast or next to construction.
Do you take the curtains down?
No. They are cleaned in place, which avoids shrinkage and rehanging. Heavily soiled or lined curtains can be taken for an off site wash if needed.
Is steam safe for blackout and silk curtains?
Blackout linings are cleaned at low temperature. Silk and velvet are cleaned with low moisture methods after a test.
How do I choose a company for curtain steaming and pressing in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (14 Point Standard signed by the supervisor, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
How do I prepare for curtain steaming and pressing?
Put away valuables, papers and fragile items from the areas to be worked on and tell us about any delicate finishes. The supervisor confirms anything else at the site visit.
Do I need to provide any products or equipment?
No. Products, tools and machines come with the crew. Any materials the job needs, such as paint or parts, are listed in the written quotation.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
