Your curtains and drapes are powerful dust and pollen magnets. Allergens such as mold spores, dust, and pollen can quietly accumulate on drapes and curtains. If it’s true that floor coverings often get neglected when it comes cleaning time, it’s even more true of curtains. We will often recommend a curtain cleaning during a carpet cleaning session, to take care of all the dirt/allergen trouble spots at once. Many people wait so long that when they finally clean their drapes they notice a significant color change; a testimony to how much crud accumulates on them!

Draperies are often lined and usually made of fabrics that are much heavier than those used for curtains. We will often opt to dry-clean draperies, as many types of drapes will have different backing fabrics that might shrink or become damaged in the wash. And as always, we test the drapes to determine their composition to best decide on the type of cleaning treatment.

As with floor covering, it is often best to have professionals clean the drapes. Curtains and drapes are not only frequently made of delicate synthetic materials, but are often made very fragile due to sun exposure. For these reasons, curtains often tear easily. Curtains and drapes are also often too large to fit into a consumer washing machine, and improper washing can put “pucker spots” in curtains and drapes, causing them to hang poorly. Pleated drapes also present a challenge to non professional cleaners, as pleats are notorious for losing their form when in a washing machine. For the most delicate curtains and drapes, we use hand washing methods with organic cleaners. The end result of a full curtain and rug cleaning job is a beautifully clean, healthy room with a fresh scent. Clean curtains and drapes are important to you for your family's health and the cleanliness of your household. Give Carpet Cleaning Boston a call and we’ll show you why we’re the best in the business.
