Curtain Call

The one chore I hate most is taking off the curtains for washing. Well, putting the curtains in the washing machine is easy but taking those individual hooks off is just time consuming not to mention tedious, and putting them back is such a hassle. My curtains are really dusty, I haven't washed them for months already (OK, maybe two or three months at the most). They're starting to smell too. Worse still, it's white in colour. It doesn't help when the weather's been so hot, dry and humid these past few months.

I'm a cleanliness freak. I wash the bedsheets, blankets and towels every week without fail. I can't stand it when the sheets become too crumpled and the towels start to smell musty. Thank god for washing machines! I've washed my laundry by hand before but never bedsheets and blankets. They're just a tad too thick to be hand washed unless I have the arms of the incredible hulk. Curtains on the other hand, since their purpose is to just cover the windows get less attention from me.

It would be so convenient if only we have something like those professional cleaners from Drapery Cleaning Dallas here. A quick call and they'll come running (of course, they would charge you a little fee) to help freshen my curtains in a jiffy. They don't even have to remove and re-hang my curtains. Now that's what I would call life. If only...
