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 do you keep clothes fresh in long-term storage?

• <div><p>First, ensure your clothes are clean before you pack them. When packing, make sure they&rsquo;re folded and stored within the container with enough room to breathe. For extra protection, try using cedar chips or lavender sachets, which naturally repel bugs. Lastly, periodically checking in on your clothes will help you stay aware of their condition. </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: Is window film better than curtains, shades, or blinds?

• <div><p>Whether window film is better depends on individual preferences and specific needs. In some instances, window film can be much less costly to install. Aesthetics is also a deciding factor. Window film may have a more significant appeal for design minimalists looking for a clean and streamlined look without the heaviness that comes with curtains. On the flip side, they can also appeal to design maximalists looking for creative expression in the form of color, patterns, and texture. Choosing between window film and traditional window coverings depends on factors like desired functionality, aesthetics, and personal preferences.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my drapes myself?

• <div><p>In some cases, it&rsquo;s possible to clean your drapes yourself, but usually only if you can machine-wash the drapes. You can check the &ldquo;how to wash&rdquo; tag on the drapes for instructions. If the tag is missing or if the material is dry-clean only, we recommend leaving the work to a professional drape cleaner. Performing the wrong type of cleaning or using the wrong cleaning solutions on sensitive materials can destroy your drapes. A professional drapery cleaner will apply the correct solutions for safe, deep cleaning.</p></div>

Wonderful job! I hired Valerie to do a thorough cleaning of an empty house once the sellers moved out. The buyers were thrilled with how clean everything was. She cleaned the inside of drawers, appliances, wiped done window sills, everything! I would highly recommend.
