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. Additionally, older drapes may require special care from a professional to preserve them but still leave them clean.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of window coverings?

• <div><p>The main categories of window coverings are shades, shutters, curtains, drapes, and blinds. However, consumers today have dozens of options within these categories when it comes to everything from materials to the technology behind how window coverings operate.</p></div>

Q: How do you really black out windows?

• <div><p>Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result. </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>

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>

Mr Thomas was very professional listening to what you want. They installed my floor and I liked how it turned out. They cleaned up everything and called back to see if everything was to my liking. I will be hiring SaltLight Construction, LLC again for future projects.

The man appeared to work part time for the company. I actually felt badly for him to be going up and down a ladder trying to clean the drapes with a vacuum hose with no cleaning fluid. Initially sprayed the drapery with fluid of some sort then vacuumed. I asked him to stop spraying the fluid due...

I received a visit from Clay with Allgood Plumbling to discuss the installation of a sewer "clean-out" in the backyard. The house was built in the late 70's when clean-outs (which allow plumbers to more easily and safely address clogged sewer lines) were apparently not part of the plumbing code....

They came out pretty prompt. I didn't really notice any difference, I just wanted my system to be cleaned. I asked him what he was doing, he talked me through it and it was just a tune-up. I didn't notice any improvement in my machine.
