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: 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: 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: How do you insulate windows without plastic?

• <div><p>Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called &ldquo;low-E.&rdquo;</p></div>

Q: Which fabric is best for UV protection?

• <div><p>Regarding UV protection for furniture, synthetic fabrics like polyester and acrylic are some of the best choices. They have inherent UV-blocking properties and can withstand prolonged sun exposure better than natural fabrics like cotton or silk. Additionally, outdoor-specific fabrics for patio furniture often include UV-resistant treatments to enhance sun protection. Fabrics like these have become softer and more comfortable, making them suitable for interior spaces like sunrooms and other spaces brimming with natural light.</p></div>
