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.

Q: How do I maintain drapes or curtains?

• <div><p>Vacuum regularly, spot-clean stains, and follow care instructions for specific fabrics to maintain their appearance.</p></div>

Q: Is window film better than curtains, shades, or blinds?

• <div><p>Whether window film is better depends on individual preferences and specific needs. In some instances, window film can be much less costly to install. Aesthetics is also a deciding factor. Window film may have a more significant appeal for design minimalists looking for a clean and streamlined look without the heaviness that comes with curtains. On the flip side, they can also appeal to design maximalists looking for creative expression in the form of color, patterns, and texture. Choosing between window film and traditional window coverings depends on factors like desired functionality, aesthetics, and personal preferences.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my drapes myself?

• <div><p>In some cases, it&rsquo;s possible to clean your drapes yourself, but usually only if you can machine-wash the drapes. You can check the &ldquo;how to wash&rdquo; tag on the drapes for instructions. If the tag is missing or if the material is dry-clean only, we recommend leaving the work to a professional drape cleaner. Performing the wrong type of cleaning or using the wrong cleaning solutions on sensitive materials can destroy your drapes. A professional drapery cleaner will apply the correct solutions for safe, deep cleaning.</p></div>

Nina is a very sweet person. For the price, I expected a better clean than a basic clean/tidy up. Many areas went untouched even for areas/rooms we discussed would be cleaned.
