Cleaned where they hang
We clean drapes on site, while they hang. Most rooms take under an hour. We test a hidden spot for colorfastness and shrinkage, apply a light mist of cleaning solution, extract it gently with a tool made for fabric, and dry the panels quickly. Fast drying is part of what keeps drapes from shrinking.
Because nothing comes down, nothing gets lost, folded wrong or rehung crooked, and the room is usable again the same day.
Why drapes get dirty faster in Florida
Sun, salt air, pollen and humidity are hard on fabric. Drapes act like a filter for the house: dust, cooking oils and outdoor air settle into them, and in a humid room that soil can turn musty. Sun-facing panels fade and weaken over time, which is why we look at the fabric before cleaning and tell you if it is fragile.
Fine homes
Fine homes often have the most demanding window treatments, and on-site cleaning is often the safest way to care for them.
- Silk and specialty drapes. Silk, linen, velvet, sheers and lined or interlined panels each get a fabric test and the gentlest method that will clean them.
- Two-story windows and high ceilings. We clean tall panels in foyers, great rooms and stairwells on site, with the ladders and reach they need.
- Motorized treatments. We work around motors, tracks and controls so the treatment keeps running smoothly.
- Delicate trims. Tassels, fringe, beading and contrast banding get extra care, and we test them separately.
Our crew is quiet, uniformed and insured. For homes in gated communities, see Windermere and Dr. Phillips.
Sheers, blackout and lined panels
Not every drape is the same inside. Sheers are light and clean quickly, but they show every water mark, so they get the lightest touch. Blackout and thermal linings have a coated back that must not be soaked or scrubbed. Lined and interlined panels hold moisture between the layers, so we keep the mist light and the drying quick. Valances, swags and cornice fabric get cleaned in place along with the panels.
If a panel is sun-rotted or already tearing, we will tell you before we clean it rather than after.
After smoke or water
Drapes hold smoke odor long after a fire, and a roof leak or a burst pipe can stain them. Smoke-damaged drapes need cleaning to remove the residue, not a cover-up scent. See fire and smoke damage or water damage if that's how they got dirty.
