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 cannot be power washed?

• <div><p>Delicate surfaces like softwood, painted areas, or antique furniture can be damaged by a power or pressure washer. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">Avoid power washing things</a> with electrical components, including outlets or HVAC units, because water can short-circuit these systems. Fragile materials like glass or light fixtures shatter under high pressure. Additionally, plants and landscaping should be kept safe from the forceful spray to prevent harm. Always assess the surrounding area before power washing to avoid costly damage.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect cleaning costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on fabric type, drape size, cleaning method, and whether additional services like pressing or deodorizing are included.</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: 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>
