How often should you get your drapes cleaned?

• <div><p>You should hire a professional to clean your drapes every<b> four or five years </b>or every <b>two to three years</b> if you have pets or it experiences heavy soiling. Light-colored drapes may require washing more often—every one to two years—to keep them looking fresh and clean. In between professional cleanings, it’s a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-curtains-and-drapes.htm">vacuum your drapes lightly</a> with a special drape attachment to remove surface dirt, pet hair, and other debris. Avoid using abrasive vacuum brushes on more delicate materials, though, like silk and linen.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals handle delicate surfaces during cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, using appropriate techniques and solutions for material-specific care.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep clothes fresh in long-term storage?

• <div><p>First, ensure your clothes are clean before you pack them. When packing, make sure they&rsquo;re folded and stored within the container with enough room to breathe. For extra protection, try using cedar chips or lavender sachets, which naturally repel bugs. Lastly, periodically checking in on your clothes will help you stay aware of their condition. </p></div>

Q: Which fabric is best for UV protection?

• <div><p>Regarding UV protection for furniture, synthetic fabrics like polyester and acrylic are some of the best choices. They have inherent UV-blocking properties and can withstand prolonged sun exposure better than natural fabrics like cotton or silk. Additionally, outdoor-specific fabrics for patio furniture often include UV-resistant treatments to enhance sun protection. Fabrics like these have become softer and more comfortable, making them suitable for interior spaces like sunrooms and other spaces brimming with natural light.</p></div>
