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: 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>

Q: Should curtains be washed or dry cleaned?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of curtain material you&rsquo;re working with, as cotton, cotton blends, polyester, burlap, and linen can usually stand up well to machine washing, while silk, velvet, sateen, and lace curtains are typically too delicate for washing machines. Check the tags on your curtains and follow the directions for the best results. If you&rsquo;re unsure of the material, are missing a how-to-wash tag, or have older curtains that might get damaged in the machine, take them to a dry cleaner to be on the safe side.</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 do you insulate windows without plastic?

• <div><p>Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called &ldquo;low-E.&rdquo;</p></div>

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.
