Q: Is drape cleaning worth it?

• <div><p>Drape cleaning can be an expensive process, but it&rsquo;s very often worth the investment. A professional drapery cleaner will remove odors stuck in the fabric from cooking, painting, exercising, and pets. The deep cleaning process will also remove allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Ultimately, drape cleaning can help your home look and smell fresh, and maintain a healthy indoor air quality. Paying a professional for drape cleaning is worthwhile because it guarantees your cleaning solution won&rsquo;t damage the material and necessitates a replacement.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain drapes or curtains?

• <div><p>Vacuum regularly, spot-clean stains, and follow care instructions for specific fabrics to maintain their appearance.</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>

Q: What are the different types of window coverings?

• <div><p>The main categories of window coverings are shades, shutters, curtains, drapes, and blinds. However, consumers today have dozens of options within these categories when it comes to everything from materials to the technology behind how window coverings operate.</p></div>

All mold was removed and all surfaces cleaned better than was expected for a building built in 1974. We have not had any issues with mold since the cleaning. HVAC duct work was cleaned and there is a great improvement in the air quality.
