When Should Your Drapes Be Professionally Cleaned?

Contrary to popular belief, your drapes should be cleaned approximately every two years. A recent survey by Servpro Industries, Inc. disclosed that the average customer believes drapes should be cleaned when they look dirty. Depending on your heating system, the presence of smokers in the home and other unknown factors, drapes may not show soil for 2 to 6 years. The oily atmospheric soil will gradually cause the fabric to deteriorate. Often, direct sunlight is unjustly blamed for this.

SERVPRO professional drape cleaning may triple the life of your draperies through professional cleaning, which is relatively inexpensive compared to replacement costs.

Professional Drapery Cleaning

When your draperies need cleaning, make certain they are dry cleaned ONLY. There are a small percentage of fabrics that can be laundered, such as fiberglass. If in doubt, call us for advice. Discriminate in your choice of professional dry cleaners. Some cleaners have equipment designed for clothes cleaning, while others have equipment specifically designed for draperies.

We have an exclusive process for dry cleaning draperies right in your home. No need to have your home or office exposed while your draperies are out being cleaned. We inject a specially formulated solvent into your drapery under pressure and extract the chemical leaving your drapes clean. By using this special process, there will be no damage to the material and no shrinkage. Call us today for a free survey of your drapery cleaning needs.
