Drapery Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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:

  • Cotton: Machine wash

  • Lace: Hand wash

  • Linen: Dry clean

  • Polyester: Machine wash

  • Silk: Dry clean or steam clean

  • Velvet: Dry clean

  • Wool: Dry clean

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.

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. 

Vacuum regularly, spot-clean stains, and follow care instructions for specific fabrics to maintain their appearance.

You’ve stored your coats away all summer long, but now that the temperatures drop, you notice they smell weird as you pull them from storage. What’s the deal? If your clothes smell weird after you stored them, they may have been in a moist, dark environment for several weeks or months. This environment is ideal for mildew growth, which can make clothes smell musty.

It’s usually worth the investment to pay for a professional to clean your drapes every four to five years. This service will keep your window coverings looking new for much longer. Regular drape cleaning—including biannual vacuuming—is also a great way to reduce allergens in your home, including pet dander, dust, and pollen that can accumulate on the material. This service might be especially worthwhile if you have someone in your home with severe allergies or a respiratory complication like asthma.
