Q: What is the most popular type of window treatment?

• <div><p>In general, shades and blinds are the most common window coverings used today because they create unobtrusive, sleek profiles that fit into any space. In addition, blinds and shades are extremely easy to use. Most operate using either a pull system or wand. While most blinds and shades sold by retailers are available in a wide range of sizes that are made to fit standard windows, customers can also order custom shades and blinds for windows that are hard to fit.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional cleaning?

• <div><p>Professionals remove dust, allergens, and stains while preserving fabric integrity and enhancing the appearance of window treatments.</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: Can professionals handle delicate surfaces during cleaning?

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

Most recently, I've been dissatisfied with them. I called to have some draperies cleaned. Being home alone, I don't answer the door unless I know someone is coming. I had made the appointment, but the man that came did not indicate who he was or who he worked for, so I wasn't sure who he was,...

They are excellent. We generally take the drapery in to them. We have used them before and I think we found them through Angie's List. It's a dry cleaning shop that we take the drapery to. It's neat, clean and the help we get there is professional.
