Get matched with top drapery cleaners in Marion Heights, PA

You should hire a professional to clean your drapes every four or five years or every two to three years 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 vacuum your drapes lightly 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.

Costs depend on fabric type, drape size, cleaning method, and whether additional services like pressing or deodorizing are included.

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.

Delicate surfaces like softwood, painted areas, or antique furniture can be damaged by a power or pressure washer. Avoid power washing things 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.
