Q: Can I clean my drapes myself?

<div><p>In some cases, it&rsquo;s possible to clean your drapes yourself, but usually only if you can machine-wash the drapes. You can check the &ldquo;how to wash&rdquo; tag on the drapes for instructions. If the tag is missing or if the material is dry-clean only, we recommend leaving the work to a professional drape cleaner. Performing the wrong type of cleaning or using the wrong cleaning solutions on sensitive materials can destroy your drapes. A professional drapery cleaner will apply the correct solutions for safe, deep cleaning.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have your drapes cleaned?

<div><p>The average cost for drape cleaning services is around <b>$100</b> <b>per drape set</b>, with most homeowners paying between <b>$75 and $150</b>. The price you can expect to pay depends on the size of the drapes or curtains, the material, and the number of sets. One cost-saving method is to hire a professional drapery cleaner to refresh multiple sets in one service. Drapes that are dry-clean-only will likely cost a bit more, as the cleaning process is more involved and might require your professional to remove them from your home, clean them off-site, and then reinstall them later.</p></div>

Q: How often should drapes be dry cleaned?

<div><p>You should dry clean your drapes <b>twice per year</b>: once in the spring and once in the fall. Cleaning drapes in the spring will remove dust, pet hair, pet dander, and other contaminants that build up during the winter, and cleaning them again in the fall will remove pollen and other outside contaminants that accumulate in your drapes in the spring and summer. You should consider cleaning your drapes three or four times per year if you have a lot of pets or if someone in your household has severe allergies.</p></div>

Q: Is drape cleaning worth it?

<div><p>Drape cleaning can be an expensive process, but it&rsquo;s very often worth the investment. A professional drapery cleaner will remove odors stuck in the fabric from cooking, painting, exercising, and pets. The deep cleaning process will also remove allergens like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Ultimately, drape cleaning can help your home look and smell fresh, and maintain a healthy indoor air quality. Paying a professional for drape cleaning is worthwhile because it guarantees your cleaning solution won&rsquo;t damage the material and necessitates a replacement.</p></div>

It went just fine. They did a really good job. A few months later there was a pipe break in the kitchen ceiling, soiling the curtain over the kitchen sink and Chet's got the moldy water stain out.

The sheers looked like brand new after they were done even though they hadn’t been cleaned in years. Chet’s came and took them off the curtain rods, put up a paper shade for privacy and then rehung them after cleaning, steaming them on the rods so they hung perfectly.
