If you live in Southern Westchester and have invested in high end custom drapery for your home, we strongly recommend you contact us before your painting or renovation work starts. By scheduling us to come before the other work starts we can take responsibility for the removal of your drapery, which will prevent unnecessary issues caused by painters or other contractors unintentionally manhandling the fabrics.If you are scheduling the cleaning as a stand-alone project we can normally install the cleaned drapery within 10 days of removal unless other arrangements are made. When we return we will do any necessary touch up steaming and dress the windows so they look just right.We do all of our drapery dry cleaning by hand in our specially designed workroom where we can take all the time that is necessary to do the best job possible. By cleaning every treatment by hand, using only 100% eco-friendly and odor free solutions, and letting the fabric naturally air dry, we avoid issues of shrinkage or damage to even fragile fabrics. Sun damaged treatments can be cleaned safely without fear of further damage since the drapery is never put into a dry cleaning machine where it would be saturated with solution, tumbled and then dried with heat. Depending on the circumstances some drapery cleaning may be done on site using dry vapor steam as an alternative to dry cleaning by hand. This non-chemical drapery cleaning process uses the heat generated by the dry vapor to sanitize the fabric. That in combination with Hepa filtered vacuuming thoroughly removes the layer of soot and dust that inevitably coats all window treatments even in bucolic Westchester. Our dry vapor steam cleaning method is not an alternative for stained fabric which should be treated using our proven and safe drapery dry cleaning process.
