As the days get longer and flowers begin to bloom, many of us feel the itch to tidy up and start fresh. Spring is the season of renewal—and there’s no better time to give your home the deep clean it deserves. But while many focus on scrubbing baseboards or organizing closets, one critical area is often overlooked: your soft surfaces, including comforters, blankets, and curtains.
At Deluxe Cleaners & Alterations, we know that spring cleaning isn’t complete without giving these large, often neglected items a proper refresh. These pieces silently collect dust, allergens, odors, and more over the winter—and your usual washer and dryer simply can’t get the job done like a professional cleaning can.
Let’s take a closer look at why these essential household items need special attention this spring and how our dry cleaning and laundry services can help.
Why Spring Cleaning Matters More Than Ever
Spring cleaning has been a tradition for centuries—and for good reason. During the colder months, our homes are sealed tight against the elements. This traps in dust, allergens, and bacteria that quietly build up in textiles throughout the house. As we transition into warmer weather, it’s important to reset your space with a thorough clean—especially where you sleep, relax, or entertain.
The average person spends roughly one-third of their life in bed. If you’re not regularly deep-cleaning your comforter or blanket, you’re sharing that space with dust mites, bacteria, and built-up allergens. And curtains? They’re hanging right next to your windows where pollen and pollution easily sneak in.
Why You Should Deep Clean Your Comforter
1. They Hold More Than You Think
While you likely wash your sheets weekly, comforters don’t get the same love. Yet they accumulate:
Dead skin cells
Body oils
Sweat
Pet dander
Dust mites
These contaminants don’t just live on the surface—they sink deep into the filling of your comforter. Over time, this creates a breeding ground for allergens and bacteria.
2. Home Washing Often Falls Short
Most household washing machines are not equipped to properly clean bulky comforters. They may not fully dry, leading to mildew or odor. Worse, improper washing can cause clumping, damage to stitching, or uneven filling distribution.
3. Professional Cleaning = Long-Term Savings
By bringing your comforters to Deluxe Cleaners & Alterations, you’re investing in the lifespan of your bedding. We use gentle, fabric-safe processes that clean deeply without damage. Plus, we handle the drying, folding, and even pick-up and delivery, so it’s effortless for you.
Why Blankets Need Special Care Too
Blankets are used daily—on beds, couches, and even in cars—yet many people go months (or longer) without cleaning them.
1. Trapped Allergens & Odors
Heavy blankets trap pollen, hair, pet dander, and body oils. This leads to:
Unpleasant odors
Allergy flare-ups
Reduced softness and comfort
Spring is an ideal time to deep-clean these items and start the season fresh.
2. Material Matters
Many modern blankets are made from specialty fabrics like fleece, microfiber, or weighted materials. These require special handling that most home laundry routines can’t provide.
Our professional cleaning services ensure your favorite throw or blanket stays soft, sanitary, and cozy—without fading, stretching, or shrinking.
Don’t Forget Your Curtains
Curtains are some of the most overlooked items during spring cleaning, even though they’re essentially large air filters for your home.
1. Dust & Pollen Magnets
Curtains sit next to your windows, silently collecting:
Dust and outdoor pollution
Pet fur
Cooking odors
Mold spores in humid months
When spring pollen begins to fly, unwashed curtains can circulate these particles into the air every time you open a window or turn on a fan.
2. Cleaning Curtains the Right Way
Curtains come in all types—cotton, silk, linen, velvet—and they often have linings, pleats, or special hardware. These details make DIY curtain cleaning risky.
At Deluxe Cleaners, we know how to properly care for your window treatments. We gently remove stains and odors, preserve the fabric’s integrity, and press them to look crisp and polished. It’s a small touch that makes a big visual impact in any room.
