Is that the same as £4 a sq m.
Come on boys and girls I'm 51 and even I've gone metric.
Well still like the imperial weights but only 'cos I'm not using them all the time.

Think 40p sq/ft is  £4.30/m2

Depend on size shaun full length drop ,half length, swaggs and tails ,tie backs pelmets etc .

 If just doing one set of curtains and no carpet cleaning minimum job charge applies on average make about 60.00 an hour curtain cleaning .

 There are exceptions have made 3000.00 for approx 24 hrs work over 4 / 6hr shifts whatever that eqautes to 125.00 an hour I think

What ever method you use ,you should be looking at £50 per hour

So you think it will take you an hour to clean them and quote the customer £50?
Think they might just decide to take them to dry cleaners then.

if thats your attitude to cleaning curtains, (thats mine too on a majority) then offer a collection and return service instead. find a good dry cleaners who is prepared to offer you a discount and then work your price out from that and the time it takes to remove and return.

Finally I wasn't really pleased with the results. I also didn't feel that the price I wanted to charge for the time and equipment involved would be tolerated by customer (it is so much more labour intensive, which a client wouldn't see if they take curtains down , deliver and pick up from the cleaners and where the dry cleaners simply put into a large vat of solvent and then iron.) So unless the curtains had incredibly complicated tails and swags, or if the customer didn't want to be without curtains for a couple of days then advising them to take to a dry cleaners was always my preferred option. I did have a dry cleaner I recommended who would come to the property, remove .clean, return and hang and I would often get carpet cleaning referrals by return.

I refer to my earlier answer.

derick,
I can assure you taking curtaind down and putting them back up proberblt takes longer than cleaning them, and some people just do not want the hassle of taking them down and putting them back up, believe me £50 to have some curtains cleaned is not alot.
and talking of arms aching putting curtains up gives you more arm ache than alot of other things i care not to mention.
