How often should you get your drapes cleaned?

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: Should curtains be washed or dry cleaned?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of curtain material you&rsquo;re working with, as cotton, cotton blends, polyester, burlap, and linen can usually stand up well to machine washing, while silk, velvet, sateen, and lace curtains are typically too delicate for washing machines. Check the tags on your curtains and follow the directions for the best results. If you&rsquo;re unsure of the material, are missing a how-to-wash tag, or have older curtains that might get damaged in the machine, take them to a dry cleaner to be on the safe side.</p></div>

Q: Do cleaning services include reinstallation?

Very helpful and prompt. Good experience as far as plumbing goes. I thought there was still a leak the next day, so I called. Someone must have spilled something because I cleaned up the spot and there wasn't a leak.
