What is the best way to clean drapes?

• <div><p>The best way to clean drapes depends on the material, as certain washing methods are necessary for more delicate materials. You can follow the general guidelines below in most cases:</p><ul><li><p><b>Cotton:</b> Machine wash</p></li><li><p><b>Lace:</b> Hand wash</p></li><li><p><b>Linen:</b> Dry clean</p></li><li><p><b>Polyester:</b> Machine wash</p></li><li><p><b>Silk:</b> Dry clean or steam clean</p></li><li><p><b>Velvet:</b> Dry clean</p></li><li><p><b>Wool:</b> Dry clean</p></li></ul><p>You should also consider if there’s any existing damage to the drapes, like pulls or small tears, that could get worse with aggressive washing. Additionally, older drapes may require special care from a professional to preserve them but still leave them clean.</p></div>

Q: How often should drapes be dry cleaned?

• <div><p>You should dry clean your drapes <b>twice per year</b>: once in the spring and once in the fall. Cleaning drapes in the spring will remove dust, pet hair, pet dander, and other contaminants that build up during the winter, and cleaning them again in the fall will remove pollen and other outside contaminants that accumulate in your drapes in the spring and summer. You should consider cleaning your drapes three or four times per year if you have a lot of pets or if someone in your household has severe allergies.</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: Why do clothes smell weird after storing?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ve stored your coats away all summer long, but now that the temperatures drop, you notice they smell weird as you pull them from storage. What&rsquo;s the deal? If your clothes smell weird after you stored them, they may have been in a moist, dark environment for several weeks or months. This environment is ideal for mildew growth, which can make clothes smell musty.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to dry clean or wash curtains?

• <div><p>The best curtain cleaning method depends on its material. Always check the care tag before throwing your drapes in water, either by hand washing or in the washing machine. Some materials are too delicate for either process and must go to the dry cleaners for proper care. </p></div>
