Spring Cleaning Guide for Drapery, Upholstery, and Bedding

Spring is a time to refresh your living spaces. To ensure your drapery, upholstery, and bedding look their best, follow these cleaning tips:

1. Drapery:

  • Vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and allergens.
  • Spot clean stains with a mild detergent, or take delicate fabrics to a professional cleaner.
  • For washable fabrics, follow care labels carefully.

2. Upholstery:

  • Use a vacuum cleaner with upholstery tools to clean cracks and crevices.
  • Treat stains with fabric-safe cleaners, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Consider professional deep cleaning annually for heavily used pieces.

3. Bedding:

  • Wash sheets and pillowcases weekly in hot water to kill allergens.
  • Air out comforters and duvet covers to remove dust.
  • Rotate and vacuum mattresses to prolong their lifespan.

Regular cleaning not only enhances the appearance of your textiles but also contributes to a healthier, allergen-free home environment. Spring is the ideal time to rejuvenate your living spaces and embrace a fresh start.
