Bedsheets, curtains & bulky items in Dubai — laundry care that fits your machine's limits

Quick takeaways

• A 7kg home washing machine handles single bedsheets + pillowcases comfortably. King-size or duvet covers need professional washing.
• Curtains should be cleaned every 6 months in Dubai (UAE dust). Rotate two sets so your living room is never bare.
• Comforter / blanket cleaning runs AED 45-79 depending on size. Persian rugs from AED 250 (minimum).
• For homes >2BR, the Whole-Home Monthly plan (AED 799) bundles all of this in one big monthly visit.

# What goes in your washing machine — and what doesn't

Home machine handles:

• Single bedsheets, pillowcases, single duvet covers
• Towels, bath mats, hand towels
• Children's bedding
• T-shirts, underwear, socks, daily wear

Send out:

• King-size bedsheets (won't fit + lose absorbency at 60°C+ home wash)
• Comforters and king duvets (too bulky)
• Curtains (drop too much dust into the drum)
• Rugs (hand-washed; machine kills them)
• Cushion covers from sofas (delicate, dye-bleeding)

# The curtain rotation strategy

Buy or commission two sets of identical curtains. Rotate every 6 months. The active set hangs in your home; the cleaned set is folded in your linen cupboard. This way the room is never bare while curtains are at the cleaner.

Servia handles curtain cleaning at AED 45 per panel — usually a 5-day turnaround including hand-finish.

# Bedsheet refresh schedule for the UAE

UAE residents typically rotate 3 sets per bed:

• Set A on the bed
• Set B in the wash / folded
• Set C in the cupboard

This way you can change sheets every 5-7 days even if one set is stuck at the laundry. For king beds, the per-set wash is AED 28 plus pickup is free above AED 70 basket.

# Rugs — when to call in pros

Most Persian and area rugs need cleaning once every 18-24 months in Dubai (more if you have pets or a heavy-foot household). Professional rug cleaning starts at AED 65 for a small area rug and AED 250 minimum for a hand-knotted Persian. We test for dye-bleed first and won't proceed if there's risk.

# The Whole-Home Monthly plan

For villas or 3-4BR apartments, the Whole-Home Monthly plan (AED 799/month) bundles:

• Bedsheets + towels refresh for all rooms
