THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR DRAPERY CLEANING

WHY DRAPERY CLEANING MATTERS

APPEARANCE The blower motor in your heating and air conditioning system, circulates the air in your home. This results in household dust being redistributed continuously throughout all of your rooms. As warmer air rises it carries dust and particulate matter up to the ceiling where it then flows toward the walls. As the air cools it begins to fall near the walls. Walls that have windows, usually have window shades, blinds or draperies. As the cool air falls it deposits the dust on the fabrics and materials which make up your draperies, shades and blinds.

You won’t notice it from one day to the next, but the dust continually  accumulates. Over several years, the fabrics and colors begin to look dingy or grayish, because you are looking through a layer of dust.

When this dust is removed by professional drapery cleaning, the draperies, shades and blinds appear fresh and new. HEALTH BENEFITS Dust, pet dander, cooking grease, pollen, insects, bacteria, molds, mildew and viruses can all be present on drapery fabrics over time. If someone in your family suffers from asthma or allergies it is essential to have your drapery, shades and blinds professionally cleaned periodically. When cancer patients are undergoing chemotherapy, doctors often recommend professional drapery cleaning. LONGEVITY Regular professional drapery cleaning is important because it will extend the life of your custom window treatments. The surface debris found in household dust can be corrosive to fabric fibers. This corrosive assault is made worse by exposure to harmful UV radiation from sunlight. In combination, these attacks on the fabric will eventually result in dry rot, fraying and irreparable damage as the fibers in the fabric are compromised. By investing in professional drapery cleaning, you not only enhance the appearance and health of your home but also extend the longevity of your window treatments. This proactive approach saves you from the significant expense of premature replacement, making drapery cleaning a wise and cost-effective choice in the long run.
