How often should you get your drapes cleaned?

• <div>You should hire a professional to clean your drapes every four or five years or every two to three years 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.</div>

What are the three basic categories of window treatments?

• <div>Window treatments fall under the categories of hard, soft, and layered. Hard refers to stiff, formed treatments that include window blinds and shutters. Soft refers to cloth window treatments that include drapes and curtains. Finally, layered refers to the combination of soft and hard treatments. For example, you might place flowing drapes over blinds to combine the practicality of a treatment that blocks the sun with the whimsical and elongating aesthetic of a full-window drape.</div>

What is the best way to clean drapes?

• <div>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:<ul><li>Cotton: Machine wash</li><li>Lace: Hand wash</li><li>Linen: Dry clean</li><li>Polyester: Machine wash</li><li>Silk: Dry clean or steam clean</li><li>Velvet: Dry clean</li><li>Wool: Dry clean</li></ul>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.</div>

Q: Can I clean my drapes myself?

• <div>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.</div>

Q: How often should curtains be washed?

• <div>It&rsquo;s a good idea to wash curtains every six months or so to avoid allergens from building up in them and to get rid of any odors from cooking, exercising, or pets. You might want to wash your curtains as often as every three months if you have multiple pets, someone in your family is highly allergic to dust or pet dander, or you cook often with aromatic spices or oils. You might consider a standalone cleaning if you get stains on your curtains or they are visibly soiled.</div>

The workmen were timely, very polite and worked quietly and professionally. They did an excellent job of cleaning the draperies, curtains and blinds and beautifully rehung them. We were completed satisfied with the job they did and highly recommend Cleantex.

"We have two puppies at home so things can get messy and dirty, especially since they are learning that they need to go outside to go to the bathroom. They would jump on the bed or a chair and sometimes go to the bathroom there or just go in the carpet. When we would bring them inside, they would have a field day putting their muddy feet everywhere. I tried a bunch of thing to get the stains/smells out of throngs, but it didn’t quite work and it was getting a little frustrating. I reached out to Hygienitech just to get a sense of how they can help and they gave me a great price and did a super deep clean. After they were done, the stains and smells were gone. Originally, I was skeptical because I never thought this stuff would be able to come out of tie carpet, mattresses, upholstery, but they did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. They were very polite, professional, and the price was great!"
