What are the three basic categories of window treatments?

• <div><p>Window treatments fall under the categories of hard, soft, and layered. <i>Hard</i> refers to stiff, formed treatments that include window blinds and shutters. <i>Soft</i> refers to cloth window treatments that include drapes and curtains. Finally, <i>layered</i> refers to the combination of soft and hard treatments. For example, you might place flowing drapes over blinds to combine the practicality of a treatment that blocks the sun with the whimsical and elongating aesthetic of a full-window drape.</p></div>

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: 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: Why do clothes smell weird after storing?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my curtains?

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

Sandy was very knowledgeable about the type fabric I would need and helped with the selection. The chairs look wonderful and the workmanship is excellent. They completed the job in two short weeks. I will definitely use her again for draperies or upholstery!
