Q: What happens if I don’t clean my drapes?

• <div><p>Custom curtains or drapes are an investment, often costing hundreds of dollars. Just like rugs or fabric furniture, cleaning helps maintain its original quality and keeps it lasting for years to come. Skipping regular drapery cleaning can result in discoloration, odors, mold or mildew, and even allergens from dust buildup. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have your drapes cleaned?

• <div><p>The average cost for drape cleaning services is around <b>$100</b> <b>per drape set</b>, with most homeowners paying between <b>$75 and $150</b>. The price you can expect to pay depends on the size of the drapes or curtains, the material, and the number of sets. One cost-saving method is to hire a professional drapery cleaner to refresh multiple sets in one service. Drapes that are dry-clean-only will likely cost a bit more, as the cleaning process is more involved and might require your professional to remove them from your home, clean them off-site, and then reinstall them later.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals handle delicate surfaces during cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, using appropriate techniques and solutions for material-specific care.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect cleaning costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on fabric type, drape size, cleaning method, and whether additional services like pressing or deodorizing are included.</p></div>

Max and his crew were prompt, polite and hard workers. They did a great job installing our new flooring. They cleaned up before they left and took away all our old floor. I have hired Max to install my new back splash. I highly recommend they .

Arrived right on time, installed our TV above the fireplace - and not a wire in sight. Afterwards they cleaned everything up and were gone. Couldn't ask for anything more than that.
