Home and Bedding Dry Cleaning in London

Duvets, curtains, bed linen, upholstery, and household textiles — cleaned using non-toxic methods with collection and delivery.

The same investment that goes into a wardrobe often goes into household textiles — quality bed linen, lined curtains, down duvets, and upholstered furniture that cost hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds. Most of these items are cleaned rarely, cleaned incorrectly, or not cleaned at all. BLANC provides specialist cleaning for household textiles in London, using the same non-toxic methods and individual assessment we apply to garments.

Why household textiles need professional cleaning

Bed linen accumulates skin cells, perspiration, body oils, and dust mite waste with every night of use. A duvet that is slept under nightly for six months without cleaning carries a weight of biological residue that affects both the fabric and the person sleeping under it. Curtains absorb cooking fumes, dust, and airborne pollutants over years. Upholstery holds the residue of every person who has sat on it. The items most in contact with skin are often the items least frequently cleaned.

Curtain cleaning without shrinkage

Lined curtains are the most commonly damaged household textile in standard cleaning. The face fabric and the lining are made of different materials with different shrinkage rates. A cleaning cycle that suits the outer fabric may shrink the lining, pulling the curtain out of shape permanently. BLANC assesses each curtain individually — the face fabric, the lining, any interlining, and the heading construction — before selecting a method. The temperature and the agitation are set to the most shrinkage-prone layer, not the most durable one.

Down and synthetic duvet cleaning

A down duvet cleaned at the wrong temperature or with the wrong detergent loses loft permanently. The down clusters collapse, clump, and stop trapping air — which is the entire mechanism by which a down duvet insulates. Standard commercial laundry is not calibrated for this. BLANC cleans down duvets with biodegradable detergents at temperatures that clean the filling without stripping the natural oils that keep the clusters open. Synthetic-filled duvets are more forgiving but still benefit from controlled cleaning that preserves the fill structure rather than flattening it.

What we clean

• Bed linen: Sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and mattress protectors. Cleaned, pressed, and returned folded and ready to use.
• Pillows: Down and synthetic pillows cleaned with methods matched to the filling type. Pillows accumulate skin cells, perspiration, and dust mite waste faster than any other bedding item and benefit from professional cleaning at least twice a year.
• Duvets: Down and synthetic. Cleaned with methods calibrated to the filling type. Returned with the loft and insulation the duvet was designed to provide.
• Curtains: Lined, interlined, and unlined. Individually assessed for fabric and lining compatibility. Returned the same size and shape they arrived.
• Upholstery and cushion covers: Sofa covers, cushion covers, and removable upholstery cleaned using methods matched to the fabric.
• Throws, blankets, and bedspreads: Wool, cashmere, cotton, and blended textiles. Each assessed and cleaned individually.
• Table linen: Tablecloths, napkins, and runners. Stain treatment, cleaning, and pressing to a formal standard.

Collection and delivery for large items

Household textiles are large, heavy, and awkward to transport. BLANC collects from your address — the driver handles the duvet, the curtains, and the upholstery covers. Cleaned items are returned to your door, folded or hung, ready to go back in place. Schedule a collection at blancliving.co or call 020 8004 2630. Complimentary collection and delivery on orders over £30.
