Q: What happens if I don’t clean my drapes?

• <div><p>Custom curtains or drapes are an investment, often costing hundreds of dollars. Just like rugs or fabric furniture, cleaning helps maintain its original quality and keeps it lasting for years to come. Skipping regular drapery cleaning can result in discoloration, odors, mold or mildew, and even allergens from dust buildup. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to wash everything after fumigation?

• <div><p>Anything that might have been exposed to fumigation chemicals should be washed before use. Wipe down and sanitize surfaces like countertops and tables, and wash all utensils (or take care to store them in an airtight box beforehand), as well as anything else that could find its way into someone&rsquo;s mouth, like kid or pet toys. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my curtains?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, professional dry cleaning, and avoiding direct sunlight prolong the curtain lifespan.</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>

paint started peeling a few months after they finished. Would not come back and fix. I had to hire another company to clean up their mess. Ruidoso deck staining did not power wash or sand and I provided the paint. Company hired to finish charged $100 more and that included counter sinking nails...
