Our professional drapery cleaning service safely cleans curtains, sheers, valances, and custom window treatments while helping reduce dust, allergens, odors, and fabric discoloration.
We’ll review your drapery, take any measurements, discuss fabric type and condition, and go over any concerns and questions before work begins.
Depending on the fabric and condition, we’ll recommend either in-home cleaning or cleaning at our state-of-the-art facility, and explain what makes the most sense for your drapery.
If your drapery can be safely cleaned on-site, we’ll do so with minimal disruption—no need for removal or rehanging.
If off-site cleaning is recommended, we’ll carefully remove your drapery, clean it and then return to professionally and immaculately rehang it in your home.
We’ll review the results with you to make sure everything looks great and address any remaining questions.
We’ll share simple recommendations to keep your drapery looking pristine between services.

As Seen in
Every 2-3 years for most installations, annually for high-dust environments or fabrics exposed to
cooking areas. Unlike upholstery that gets touched daily, drapery’s main enemy is airborne
particles. Frequency depends more on air quality and sun exposure than on use. We’ll assess
your environment and fabric condition to avoid under- or over-cleaning.
Yes, and often we recommend it. On-premises cleaning eliminates takedown risks, like torn
mounting points, lost pleating, or hardware stress. We bring mobile equipment designed for
vertical treatment: low-moisture systems, controlled extraction, and pole-mounted tools for high
reaches. However, cleaning can also be done off-site in our state-of-the-art facility, depending
on the specific needs of your drapery and home.
Yes, and we know firsthand that each of these needs completely different treatment. Designer
fabrics often call for a custom treatment plan based on the material, condition, and construction
of each drape.
Absolutely—dust removal is integral to drapery cleaning, as years of particles embed in pleats
and linings, causing allergies and decay. We use HEPA-filtered extraction that removes
contaminants without spreading them. For odors, like smoke, cooking, or mustiness, we apply
treatments matched to fabric tolerance. Most issues resolve completely with proper cleaning.
