What Is Professional Drapery & Curtain Cleaning?
Professional drapery and curtain cleaning is the controlled removal of embedded dust, allergens, body oils, odors, and environmental contaminants from fabric window treatments using fabric-safe, industry-approved cleaning methods.
Unlike vacuuming or DIY spot cleaning, professional drapery cleaning:
Preserves fabric structure
Prevents shrinkage and distortion
Protects color and lining
Improves indoor air quality
Dr Steemer provides on-site and off-site drapery cleaning based on fabric type, size, and installation method.
Why Drapery & Curtain Cleaning Is Essential
Drapes and curtains act as air filters inside your home or office. Over time, they collect:
Dust and airborne pollutants
Pet dander and allergens
Moisture-related odors
Smoke and cooking residue
Without professional cleaning, these contaminants:
Dull fabric appearance
Degrade fibers
Reduce indoor air quality
Trigger allergies and respiratory issues
Regular professional drapery cleaning protects both your investment and your indoor environment.
