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 do you declutter for the holidays?

• <div><p>Strat decluttering for the holidays by removing trash and organizing items into different piles that you&rsquo;ll keep, donate and toss out. Whatever you intend to keep, find a specific place for it, and if you buy something, get rid of an item that&rsquo;s taking up space. Start small, go room-by-room, and don&rsquo;t try to declutter all at once&mdash;doing so can get overwhelming.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean the shower curtains?

• <div><p>If you proactively avoid grime buildup and mold growth, you can clean the shower curtains as needed. However, if you forget to take preventive action, a good rule of thumb is to clean fabric curtains about every three months. And you&rsquo;ll clean plastic liners and curtains every three to four weeks.</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: Does hydrogen peroxide remove dried blood stains?

• <div><p>Hydrogen peroxide can be a good option for removing dried blood stains, but it&rsquo;s an aggressive solution that could discolor or damage your carpet. It&rsquo;s often a better option to call in a professional to deal with dried blood stains. A pro will have commercial cleaning solutions that do a better job as well as the experience necessary to get the stain out without doing irreparable damage to your carpet.</p></div>
