What is the best way to clean drapes?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p><b>Cotton:</b> Machine wash</p></li><li><p><b>Lace:</b> Hand wash</p></li><li><p><b>Linen:</b> Dry clean</p></li><li><p><b>Polyester:</b> Machine wash</p></li><li><p><b>Silk:</b> Dry clean or steam clean</p></li><li><p><b>Velvet:</b> Dry clean</p></li><li><p><b>Wool:</b> Dry clean</p></li></ul><p>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.

Q: How often should drapes be dry cleaned?

• <div><p>You should dry clean your drapes <b>twice per year</b>: once in the spring and once in the fall. Cleaning drapes in the spring will remove dust, pet hair, pet dander, and other contaminants that build up during the winter, and cleaning them again in the fall will remove pollen and other outside contaminants that accumulate in your drapes in the spring and summer. You should consider cleaning your drapes three or four times per year if you have a lot of pets or if someone in your household has severe allergies.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to dry clean or wash curtains?

• <div><p>The best curtain cleaning method depends on its material. Always check the care tag before throwing your drapes in water, either by hand washing or in the washing machine. Some materials are too delicate for either process and must go to the dry cleaners for proper care. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have your drapes cleaned?

• <div><p>The average cost for drape cleaning services is around <b>$100</b> <b>per drape set</b>, with most homeowners paying between <b>$75 and $150</b>. The price you can expect to pay depends on the size of the drapes or curtains, the material, and the number of sets. One cost-saving method is to hire a professional drapery cleaner to refresh multiple sets in one service. Drapes that are dry-clean-only will likely cost a bit more, as the cleaning process is more involved and might require your professional to remove them from your home, clean them off-site, and then reinstall them later.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean drapes or curtains myself?

• <div><p>Some fabrics can be machine washed, but delicate or large drapes require professional cleaning to prevent shrinkage or damage.</p></div>

This was the only company that I could find on Angie's List to do this work. They picked up the draperies for cleaning. We did run into a small problem and when trying to solve the problem, not all of their employees are created equal. One was awful and one was helpful.
