The Rocks · Sydney CBD 2000
This page covers The Rocks 2000 in Sydney CBD only — not the similarly named suburbs nearby. Pro Clean Corp cleans curtains, sheers, drapes and blinds on-site at The Rocks addresses.
Curtain cleaning in The Rocks NSW 2000 for CBD apartments and high-rise units. Pro Clean Corp comes to your apartment with portable steam equipment — curtains stay on the rod, no removal, no risk of damage, dry on the rod in 1-2 hours. Lift access and building manager coordination included.
The Rocks NSW 2000 CBD apartment curtains face conditions that suburban houses don't — heating and cooling cycle constantly which bakes airborne dust into the fabric, lift-shaft air carries fine particulate that settles on the back of the curtain, and rangehood-vented kitchens push cooking residue into the curtain folds even when blinds are closed. Pro Clean Corp's Sydney CBD curtain team cleans CBD high-rise curtains every week — we know which fabrics tolerate steam and which need a gentler approach, how to manage water in a 20th-floor unit, and how to leave the apartment cleaner than we arrived.
The Rocks holds some of the oldest surviving housing in the country, and the window coverings inside this part of 2000 reflect an unusual spread. Sandstone and brick terraces off Argyle and Gloucester Streets have small-paned sash windows, short drops and often long-standing boxed pelmets above them. Around the corner, the converted Walsh Bay wharf apartments have the opposite: very tall timber-framed openings, full-height sheers on long tracks and blockouts behind. It is one small precinct holding two extremes, with heritage listings covering a good deal of what sits between them and constraining how any work inside is carried out.
Harbour exposure here is constant but mild in character. There is no surf, but there is steady salt-bearing air off the Quay, along with exhaust from the ferry wharves and from the passenger terminal on the days a ship is berthed. That combination leaves a slightly greasy salt film rather than a dry dust, and on a pale sheer facing the water it shows as a dulling right across the panel rather than as marks in any one place. The wharf conversions towards Millers Point take the most of it, because their glass faces the water directly across open decking, with nothing at all in between to break the air before it reaches the fabric.
Heritage constraints in this precinct are real and we work inside them. On a listed property we do not remove, alter or refix original tracks, pelmets or hardware, and the curtain is cleaned as it hangs, which is the least invasive option available. There is one honest exclusion: very old lined drapes whose cotton lining has perished with age can be too fragile to steam, and where we find that, we say so rather than risk pulling a curtain apart in the course of cleaning it.
These are separate suburbs with their own page — The Rocks 2000 is covered above.
Curtain cleaning in The Rocks NSW 2000 starts from $25 per window for standard sheers or light drapes, and $40-65 per window for lined drapes and heavier blockouts. A whole-house refresh (8-12 windows) is typically $200-$420 all-in. Roman blinds and venetians are priced individually. Pro Clean Corp provides a fixed-price written quote for every The Rocks job before we start.
No — Pro Clean Corp uses on-site steam cleaning for all The Rocks 2000 curtain jobs. The curtains stay on the rod, we steam-clean both sides with our portable equipment, and the curtains are dry on the rod within 1-2 hours. No removal, no risk of curtain damage, no fitting cost.
Yes. Our on-site curtain cleaning treatment includes a pre-spray that breaks down nicotine, kitchen grease and cooking-odour molecules trapped in the fabric. The steam clean then lifts and removes the loosened residue. Most The Rocks smoke-affected curtains can be fully refreshed in a single visit.
Yes. Pro Clean Corp cleans roman blinds, venetian blinds (timber, aluminium, PVC) and vertical blinds on-site across The Rocks and the Sydney CBD. Roman blinds get the same steam treatment as drapes; venetians are wiped slat-by-slat with an anti-static treatment that slows future dust build-up.
As a rule, The Rocks 2000 curtains should be professionally cleaned every 12-24 months for general dust and allergen control. Kitchens, smokers’ rooms and homes near busy roads benefit from cleaning every 6-12 months. Allergy sufferers and asthma households should consider a 6-monthly schedule.
It rarely does, because nothing is removed or modified. The curtain stays on its existing track and is treated in place, so original hardware, pelmets and joinery are not touched at any point. If your property has particular conditions on contractor works, tell us when booking and we will work to them rather than around them.
They need height access more than anything else. The openings in the Walsh Bay conversions are very tall and the tracks are long, so the sheer is one continuous panel of considerable weight. It is steamed in sections down the drop while hanging, which keeps the wave heading correctly spaced, something easily lost when a panel that size is taken off and rehung.
