How often should you get your drapes cleaned?

• <div><p>You should hire a professional to clean your drapes every<b> four or five years </b>or every <b>two to three years</b> if you have pets or it experiences heavy soiling. Light-colored drapes may require washing more often—every one to two years—to keep them looking fresh and clean. In between professional cleanings, it’s a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-curtains-and-drapes.htm">vacuum your drapes lightly</a> with a special drape attachment to remove surface dirt, pet hair, and other debris. Avoid using abrasive vacuum brushes on more delicate materials, though, like silk and linen.</p></div>

Q: How often should curtains be washed?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to wash curtains every <b>six months or</b> so to avoid allergens from building up in them and to get rid of any odors from cooking, exercising, or pets. You might want to wash your curtains as often as every three months if you have multiple pets, someone in your family is highly allergic to dust or pet dander, or you cook often with aromatic spices or oils. You might consider a standalone cleaning if you get stains on your curtains or they are visibly soiled.</p></div>

Q: What should never be put in the dryer?

• <div><p>You should avoid putting anything in the dryer that could be damaged from the heat or tumbling motion, or caught in any parts of the dryer. While there are some items that should never be dried (such as spandex, silk, leather, wool, etc.), there are some items you can dry, but only if you put them in a mesh bag first. These are usually delicate items or any items with strings or pieces attached that could be ripped off in a drying cycle. </p></div>

Q: Can I clean drapes or curtains myself?

• <div><p>Some fabrics can be machine washed, but delicate or large drapes require professional cleaning to prevent shrinkage or damage.</p></div>

Q: Who cleans drapes and curtains?

• <div><p>You can usually hire a drape cleaning service, a general cleaning service, or, in some cases, a professional dry cleaner to clean your drapes. These professionals will have the experience necessary to deep clean your drapes and curtains without damaging the material. A drape and curtain cleaning specialist is your best bet, as they will have the right experience, tools, and professional cleaning solutions at their disposal for the best results possible.</p></div>
