Common Drapery Problems We Help With
- Dust and allergens trapped in fabric panels
- Everyday odors from pets, cooking, smoke, or stale indoor air

What to Expect When We Clean Your Window Treatments
Our technicians inspect the fabric type, lining, pleats, stitching, hems, trim, and hardware area before cleaning. Drapery is different from carpet or upholstery: many fabrics can shrink, distort, bleed, or change texture if cleaned with too much moisture or heat. That is why we test first, identify shrink-risk materials, and choose the safest cleaning route for each set of panels.
Dry Cleaning or Dry-Wet-Dry Cleaning
Both procedures require a dry solvent fabric cleaning product. For most drapery, we use a non-water-based dry-cleaning solution to lift dust, oils, odors, and soil without saturating the fabric. This is especially helpful for delicate panels, lined drapes, pleated drapes, and fabrics where wet extraction may increase the risk of shrinkage or texture change.
The Dry-Wet-Dry cleaning method uses dry solvent before and after a controlled wet-cleaning step. We only recommend this deeper option when the fabric can safely handle it and we have explained the expectations. Dry cleaning before and after controlled wet cleaning helps reduce shrinkage risk and helps protect colors from running.
Because the Dry-Wet-Dry process is more involved, it is 1.5 times the prices listed below. If your drapes need this method, we will explain the reason and cost before proceeding.

Drapery Cleaning FAQ
Do you clean drapes while they hang?
Yes. Our drapery cleaning is performed on-site while the window treatments hang at your location. We do not take drapery down, clean it off site, or hang drapery.
Do you clean lined drapes?
Yes. We clean lined drapes when the fabric and lining can be safely cleaned. We inspect first because linings, age, sun exposure, and prior shrinkage can affect the safest cleaning method.
Can drapery shrink during cleaning?
Some fabrics and linings have shrinkage risk, especially when exposed to moisture or heat. We inspect and pre-test before cleaning and use dry-solvent methods to help reduce that risk, but existing fabric age, lining condition, and manufacturing factors can still affect results.
Will the cleaning solution have an odor?
Yes, the dry-cleaning solution can have an odor and it may take a few days to dissipate. Ventilation and airflow after service can help the room freshen faster.
Can you remove stains from drapery?
Many spots and soils can be improved, but not every stain can be safely removed from drapery fabric. Sun fading, water marks, dye issues, permanent stains, and damaged fibers may remain after cleaning.
How is drapery pricing calculated?
Pleated drapery is priced by the pleat. Panels are priced by width. Valances, swags, jabots, and specialty treatments are priced by width and length. We can evaluate and quote your window treatments if you prefer.
