Why Should You Hire a Drapery Specialist?
Ever wondered what a drapery specialist does and why you need to hire one? There are so many wonderful drapery styles, colors, and patterns to select when you have a home. Hospitality businesses often have professionals designing the complete interior, with suggestions for drapery appropriate to the brand. The one thing everyone has in common is that window treatments occasionally need cleaning. Dirty curtains are unacceptable in homes and businesses, as they can cause allergic reactions in clients and loved ones. Why should you hire a drapery specialist for expert cleaning?
The Right Equipment Is Used On Your Draperies
A drapery cleaning service, such as the one offered by us at Hometown Cleaners, has all the right equipment to remove and clean your draperies and rehang them. Health and safety are paramount to us, so we follow all required procedures to ensure our clients and employees are safe.
Curtains made from silk, wool, brocade, tapestry, chenille, velour, and velvet should be dry cleaned, as well as interlined curtains. As part of our professional service, we use only hypoallergenic, biodegradable, organic solvents and detergents in our state-of-the-art dry cleaning and washing machines. Whether your drapes are made with heavy wool or sheer organza, we have the expertise to clean them.
Tip: Cover the upholstery brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner with pantyhose when you want to vacuum lightweight curtains; it prevents the fabric from being sucked into the nozzle.
General Cleanliness And Hygiene Is Improved
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) states that allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. Dust mites also found in curtains, cause allergic rhinitis (hay fever). According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the ways to allergy-proof your home or business is to use washable curtains and follow a weekly cleaning routine. Clean windows, window blinds, windowsills, and grilles regularly, as dust can quickly transfer onto curtains.
If you or a loved one suffers from allergies and you want to increase the general cleanliness and hygiene of your home, clean the curtains more regularly. It will improve your quality of life, whether you wash them at home or send the drapes for dry cleaning at Hometown Cleaners.
How Often Should You Have Your Draperies Cleaned Professionally?
The decision on how often you should have your draperies professionally cleaned depends on your circumstances. Hospitality establishments have standard and deep cleaning schedules that include cleaning curtains. Homeowners suffering from allergies might clean the curtains every three to six months, while others choose to do so in the fall and spring.
Whenever you prefer to clean the draperies, follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Curtains requiring dry cleaning might shrink, and the colors bleed or fade if the incorrect cleaning method is used. Removing the cobwebs, dirt, dust and pet hair from the drapes helps keep homes and hospitality rooms fresh and clean.
Tip: Use a lint brush or the sticky side of duct tape to remove pet hair from the curtains.
