If you’ve cleaned your air conditioner but still find yourself sneezing, the problem may not be the air — it could be your fabrics. In Singapore’s dense urban environment, curtains, carpets, and upholstery silently collect dust, pollen, skin cells, and cooking fumes. Over time, these particles become embedded in fabric fibres, triggering allergies and skin irritation.

Curtains: The Hidden Offender
Curtains are often overlooked in regular cleaning routines, but they act like massive air filters — trapping pollutants that float through your living space. Sheer curtains trap fine particles; blackout curtains often trap moisture, leading to mould growth. The result? Invisible allergens and musty smells in your home.

Dust Beyond What You See
Unlike hard surfaces, fabric doesn’t just get dusty — it holds onto it. The dust that settles in soft furnishings isn’t always visible, but it can cause respiratory irritation, particularly for children and elderly family members.

Why Cleaning Once a Year Isn’t Enough
In our tropical climate, it only takes a few months for indoor fabrics to begin housing allergenic particles. Quarterly or bi-annual curtain cleaning is strongly recommended, especially if your home is near construction zones, busy roads, or if you use ceiling fans that circulate air (and dust) constantly.
