Residential, Commercial & Stage Curtain Cleaning Johannesburg
Home Curtain Cleaning
We clean curtains in Johannesburg homes of all sizes — from apartments in Rosebank and Sandton CBD to 5-bedroom family homes in Bryanston, Fourways, and Dainfern. All curtains are cleaned while hanging, so you keep your privacy, your curtain rods stay in place, and there’s no need for expensive reinstallation. We handle net, cotton, linen, blackout, thermal, and sheer curtains with methods matched to each fabric.
Office & Corporate Curtain Cleaning
Professional curtain cleaning for Johannesburg offices, boardrooms, reception areas, and coworking spaces. Weekend and after-hours service available so we never disrupt your business. Volume pricing for recurring contracts. Trusted by Johannesburg corporates including Werksmans Attorneys and Bentley Systems.
Hospitality Curtain Cleaning
Hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs, restaurants, and conference venues across Johannesburg. We work with facilities managers, housekeeping teams, and body corporates on scheduled cleaning programs. Curtains in guest rooms, ballrooms, restaurants, and conference halls are all cleaned in place with minimal disruption to operations.
Church & Worship Centre Curtain Cleaning
Churches and worship centres typically have large drapery installations — altar curtains, sanctuary drapes, stage backdrops, and entry curtains. These collect dust, candle smoke, and incense residue over years. Our steam extraction method removes smoke staining and restores fabric colour without taking down the installation. We work around service schedules and can clean during weekdays or school holidays.
Stage & Theatre Curtain Cleaning — Schools & Performance Venues
Stage curtains are some of the most neglected and most visible curtains in any venue. They hang in dusty halls, absorb decades of ambient dust, and often carry smoke residue from stage effects, candles, or years of use. Yet they are usually the first thing audiences notice when the lights go up.
CarpetPros specialises in cleaning stage curtains for schools, theatres, churches, and community halls across Johannesburg. We work at height using extended-reach equipment, without needing to remove curtains from their tracks or fly systems.
School Hall Stage Curtains
School halls host assemblies, prize-givings, drama productions, and community events. Their stage curtains carry dust, chalk residue, and years of use. We clean school hall curtains during school holidays to avoid any disruption — including the main house curtain, side tabs, and backdrops. Our team has worked with primary and secondary schools across Johannesburg and understands the need for reliability, safety compliance, and clear scheduling.
Theatre & Auditorium Stage Curtains
Working theatres and auditoriums typically have multi-layered stage curtain systems: the main front-of-house curtain (house tabs), the main act drop or cyclorama, wing curtains, leg curtains, borders, and backstage drapes. Each layer collects dust and odour differently. We clean them systematically, working around rehearsal schedules and performance dates. Our team is experienced with fly systems, counterweight rigging, and tab tracks — no permanent alteration or removal required.
Backstage & Wing Curtains
The backstage area is often forgotten — but wing curtains, leg curtains, borders, and crossover drapes accumulate dust constantly from backstage traffic, costume changes, and scenery movement. These curtains affect air quality for performers and crew, and eventually show obvious discolouration. We clean backstage curtains with the same care as front-of-house, using low-moisture methods that avoid soaking heavy velour and velour-blend fabrics.
Cycloramas & Backdrops
Cycloramas and painted backdrops require special handling. We assess the fabric, paint type, and installation before cleaning. For fragile or painted backdrops, we use dry methods or low-moisture steam extraction to avoid any damage to the artwork.
Church Sanctuary & Altar Curtains
Church drapery often includes heavy velvet altar curtains, sanctuary backdrops, and entry curtains. Years of candle smoke, incense, and dust gradually darken the fabric. Our process restores colour without damaging embroidered panels, gold trim, or heavy lining.
Conference & Function Venue Curtains
Conference centres, banquet halls, and function venues use curtain systems for stage backdrops and room dividers. We clean these on short turnaround to fit between bookings — often within a single afternoon.
Stage Curtain Cleaning Method — What Makes Us Different
Cleaning stage curtains is not the same as cleaning residential curtains. The scale, height, and fabric weight require specific equipment and technique:
- Extended-reach steam equipment — we clean curtains up to 8 metres high without scaffolding or dismantling the fly system
- Low-moisture extraction — protects heavy velour from water damage and shrinkage
- Systematic panel-by-panel cleaning — no section missed, no section over-wet
- Colour-fast testing — every stage curtain is tested for dye stability before cleaning
- Fire-retardant awareness — we do not use treatments that remove or compromise existing fire-retardant certifications
- Safety compliance — insured, trained, and equipped for working at height
- Off-peak scheduling — school holidays, term breaks, and dark nights only

Frequently Asked Questions — Curtain Cleaning Johannesburg
Do you take curtains down to clean them?
No — our specialist method cleans curtains while they remain hanging. This eliminates the hassle and cost of taking them down, transporting them, and reinstalling them. It also means no downtime for stages, school halls, or offices.
Can you clean school hall stage curtains during school holidays?
Yes — school holiday scheduling is our specialty for stage curtain work. We work during term breaks so there is zero disruption to assemblies, lessons, or productions. We coordinate directly with your facilities manager or principal to book the right window.
Do you clean theatre curtains above the stage?
Yes — our extended-reach steam equipment allows us to clean curtains up to 8 metres high without needing scaffolding or dismantling fly systems. This covers most school halls and mid-size theatre stages across Johannesburg.
Will my stage curtains lose their fire-retardant certification?
No — we do not use treatments that remove or compromise fire-retardant certifications. Our steam extraction method is water-based and does not introduce flammable residue. If your venue requires fire certification documentation, we can advise on next steps.
How long does stage curtain cleaning take?
A typical school hall stage setup (main curtain, side tabs, backdrops) takes 4–6 hours on site. A full theatre with wing curtains, borders, and cyclorama may take 1–2 days. We provide a firm timeline after the on-site assessment.
Do you clean backstage and wing curtains too?
Yes — backstage curtains, wing curtains, leg curtains, borders, and crossover drapes are all part of our standard stage curtain service. These areas are often overlooked and benefit enormously from professional cleaning.
How do you protect the audience and performers during cleaning?
Stage cleaning is scheduled during dark periods — no rehearsals, no performances, no events. Our team is trained and equipped for working at height with full safety compliance. We also use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions.
Will my velvet or velour stage curtains shrink?
No. Our low-moisture extraction method is specifically designed to protect heavy velour and velvet fabrics from water damage and shrinkage. We pre-test colour stability and use controlled moisture levels throughout.
Do you clean curtains for churches?
Yes — church sanctuaries, altar drapery, entry curtains, and stage backdrops are all part of our service. We are experienced with embroidered fabrics, gold trim, and heavy lining. We work around service schedules and can clean on weekdays.
How often should stage curtains be professionally cleaned?
Schools and community halls: every 12–18 months. Working theatres: every 12 months (due to higher dust and smoke exposure). Churches: every 12–18 months depending on candle and incense usage.
How long do curtains take to dry?
Most curtains dry within 2–4 hours in place. Stage curtains may take slightly longer due to fabric weight and hall ventilation — typically 4–6 hours.
What areas of Johannesburg do you service for curtain cleaning?
We service all of Johannesburg including Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Bryanston, Midrand, Rosebank, Kempton Park, Centurion, Krugersdorp, Germiston, Lonehill, Sunninghill, and Northriding. Call to confirm your suburb.
