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>

Q: What are the benefits of professional cleaning?

• <div><p>Professionals remove dust, allergens, and stains while preserving fabric integrity and enhancing the appearance of window treatments.</p></div>

Q: How do you clean curtains without washing them?

• <div><p>You can clean curtains without washing them by vacuuming them and then steam cleaning or having them dry cleaned. When vacuuming, use a soft brush attachment if you&rsquo;re working with a heartier material, like cotton or polyester. You can spot-treat stains with a stain remover after vacuuming, and then use a steam cleaner to clean the curtains from top to bottom. You can also bring them to a dry cleaner to have odors, dirt, stains, and allergens removed without washing them.</p></div>

Q: What is the most popular type of window treatment?

• <div><p>In general, shades and blinds are the most common window coverings used today because they create unobtrusive, sleek profiles that fit into any space. In addition, blinds and shades are extremely easy to use. Most operate using either a pull system or wand. While most blinds and shades sold by retailers are available in a wide range of sizes that are made to fit standard windows, customers can also order custom shades and blinds for windows that are hard to fit.</p></div>

Q: What cannot be power washed?

• <div><p>Delicate surfaces like softwood, painted areas, or antique furniture can be damaged by a power or pressure washer. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">Avoid power washing things</a> with electrical components, including outlets or HVAC units, because water can short-circuit these systems. Fragile materials like glass or light fixtures shatter under high pressure. Additionally, plants and landscaping should be kept safe from the forceful spray to prevent harm. Always assess the surrounding area before power washing to avoid costly damage.</p></div>
