Check your labels first.
Your fabric care label is the best guide. It explains how your panels react to moisture, helping you avoid mistakes that could permanently distort or damage your beautiful custom window treatments.
Drapery care guide
How to clean curtains
Regular care keeps your drapery looking fresh. We guide you through simple maintenance and help you identify when it is time to have your curtains professionally assessed in our Edmonton workroom.
For product options and project arrangements, see Drapery & Curtain Cleaning Edmonton, Custom Drapery & Curtains, Edmonton showroom & services or Calgary project enquiries.
Choose gentle methods only.
Not all fabrics are the same. Always start with the mildest cleaning method possible, as this protects the longevity of your curtains and prevents unnecessary wear on delicate fibers or folds.
- Read the care label and note any restrictions.
- If permitted, remove surface dust gently with a soft brush or low-suction upholstery attachment.
- Test any label-approved spot treatment on a hidden area first.
- Allow the fabric to dry as the label directs; avoid heat unless the care instructions allow it.

Frequently asked
Safest first step for care?
Start by checking your care label. Identify the face fabric and lining, and confirm if water or cleaners are recommended before you apply anything to the panels.
Can I vacuum curtains?
Only if the label says yes. Use a soft brush attachment on low suction, supporting the fabric carefully. Gentle dusting is far better for your curtains than vigorous cleaning.
Should I spot-clean stains?
Test an inconspicuous area first. Avoid hard rubbing which can distort the fabric. If a stain doesn't lift easily, professional care is safer than risking your drapes.
Can I wash lined drapes?
Only if the label explicitly permits it for both layers. Lining and face fabric can shrink differently, ruining the drape of your curtains. Consult us if you have concerns.
When to ask for help?
Reach out for professional advice regarding dry-clean-only fabrics or difficult installations. We ensure you do not inadvertently damage your window treatments through incorrect home maintenance steps.
Tips for Roman shades?
Gently dust the surface. Because of their internal hardware and folds, deep cleaning should be left to a professional. Avoid creasing or folding the shades during home dusting.

"I didn’t realize how much difference good drapery could make until these arrived. The fabric feels substantial but airy — it softens the whole room. Measuring was simple, and the fit is exact."
