What are the three basic categories of window treatments?

• <div><p>Window treatments fall under the categories of hard, soft, and layered. <i>Hard</i> refers to stiff, formed treatments that include window blinds and shutters. <i>Soft</i> refers to cloth window treatments that include drapes and curtains. Finally, <i>layered</i> 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.</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 really black out windows?

• <div><p>Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result. </p></div>

Q: How often should curtains be washed?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to wash curtains every <b>six months or</b> 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.</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>

Leon was my best find on homeadvisor.com. Always know I'm in good hands. It's rare to have real trust now-a-days. Whenever I call Leon calls me back and fixes my issues. His son is very polite and does a great job with our boiler cleaning every season.

I was so happy with the work they performed. They came exactly when they said they would and finished the job right on time. The work they performed was very nice and they cleaned up too! As a bonus, the bid they gave us was much lower than any of the others. 10/10 I would hire them again.
