⚠️ Why Washing Machines Destroy Coated & Sensitive Curtains
Standard laundry machines utilize violent mechanical spinning, hot water agitation, and harsh detergents. For blackout curtains with thermal rubber backing, machine washing causes the protective coating to crack, peel, and stick together permanently. Fine fabrics like silk, velvet, organza, and linen suffer from shrinkage, severe creasing, and thread distortion. At SHELLA, we clean delicate curtains strictly by hand and non-rotary dry methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I wash my blackout curtains in a home washing machine?
Blackout curtains use an acrylic or rubber thermal backing. Machine agitators strip away this delicate film, resulting in flaking, sunlight leakage, and ruined fabric appearance.
How do you handle heavy velvet or silk drapes?
Delicate materials like silk or velvet undergo low-moisture solvent cleaning that removes soil without crushing fabric pile, inducing water rings, or shrinking threads.
Do you offer pickup and re-hanging services in Surabaya?
Yes! Our professional team can visit your home or office in Surabaya, unhang your heavy curtains, perform our specialized cleaning, and return to install them.
Will my curtains shrink after cleaning?
By avoiding hot water wash cycles and mechanical tumble dryers, our gentle hand-wash and air-tension drying eliminate structural thermal shrinkage.
