If you have Abu Dhabi curtains for many years, you might have struggled to deal with a lingering smell that overpowers your home. This might have pushed you to get those curtains washed professionally. But it is such a hassle to keep taking curtains down and paying money to have them cleaned. Most people avoid doing cleaning their curtains for a very long time because it is time-consuming. However, here are some practical and straightforward steps to make them smell nice throughout the year. These are inexpensive home remedies that hardly take any time at all. Those clinging odours will never bother your friends and family again. Deodorizers Steam cleaning curtains removes most nasty odours from curtains. You can also buy specific upholstery deodorizers for curtains. These come in spray form which is ideal for curtains, and you can also use it on other furniture too. If you do not want to spend on deodorizing sprays, you can make these at home. All you need is a small cup of water, some vinegar, half a teaspoon of essential oil, and another half teaspoon of vegetable glycerine. The vinegar turns into a deodorizer while mixed in water. You can leave this sitting by the windowsill to keep the surrounding areas smelling fresh. The vegetable glycerine will emulsify the essential oil so that it does not float on top of the mixture. There are many aromatherapeutic scented oils to choose from so that your curtains can smell heavenly. White Vinegar White vinegar is one of the most useful and versatile ingredients to have in your kitchen cabinet. You can use this to clean almost anything, and it also neutralizes many strong odours. Mix white vinegar with some water to create an easy-to-use spray bottle. Then you can spray this solution on your curtains to freshen their smell. Ammonia Ammonia is a potent cleaner, and you should always use gloves and goggles while using it. If you are cleaning curtains with ammonia, make sure to dilute it with plenty of lukewarm water. Leave your windows open so that there is enough ventilation. Otherwise, the solution might make it difficult to breathe. Baking Soda You can sprinkle a little bit of baking soda on your drapes and curtains. Let this sit for approximately thirty minutes and then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the powder. Baking soda is very effective at absorbing odours, and you can also mix it with scented essential oils like lavender, jasmine, wild orange, eucalyptus, and many more. Fresh Air
Unless you live in a part of Abu Dhabi that’s very dusty from construction, clean air is the most natural way to deodorize curtains and make them smell good. You can pull down the curtains and hang them on your balcony for a day or two. This will let mother nature do all the cleaning, especially if you have a mild odour that you want to get rid of.
