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 do I maintain my curtains?

• <div><p>Regular vacuuming, professional dry cleaning, and avoiding direct sunlight prolong the curtain lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How do you insulate windows without plastic?

• <div><p>Insulating windows without plastic is usually the better method. Outside of simply replacing your windows, you could buy cellular shades, which trap air between the window and the home, add a window film that blocks UV rays and traps heat, or cover your windows with a low-emissivity coating called &ldquo;low-E.&rdquo;</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: Is drape cleaning worth it?

• <div><p>Drape cleaning can be an expensive process, but it&rsquo;s very often worth the investment. A professional drapery cleaner will remove odors stuck in the fabric from cooking, painting, exercising, and pets. The deep cleaning process will also remove allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Ultimately, drape cleaning can help your home look and smell fresh, and maintain a healthy indoor air quality. Paying a professional for drape cleaning is worthwhile because it guarantees your cleaning solution won&rsquo;t damage the material and necessitates a replacement.</p></div>

Someone came the first day with a 5 ft ladder. I had told them one of the draperies were for a 2 story room (about 28 feet). We made a second date. The draperies had mostly dust, not stains. They came with a spray bottle they called dry-cleaning and a large truck vaccuum and did a poor job....

Very good, initialed we sent the curtains to them, but they told me that they pick them up and take them and when ready they installed back. I did that in another set that we did not sent the first time. The service is very good and accommodating to best time for the customer.

I looked high and low for an outfit that would make my curtains from fabric I had bought online. Most of the outfits are "turnkey", meaning they only provide full service, and the fabric must be purchased from them. One of these companies was kind enough to refer me to Joseph Tharp's workroom...
