How to Properly Care for Curtains, Drapes, & Side Panel
Curtains, blinds, and drapes attract dust, filth, pet hair, and even mildew in various styles and materials. But can curtains be washed without being ruined? Absolutely! And if you know how to clean your curtains, you can make your house cleaner and healthier for your family.
If your windows are grimy, your house will seem dreary and uninviting. Curtains and blinds that haven’t been cleaned in a while making your home seem unclean and pose health risks.

The good news is that with the right knowledge, you can restore the beauty of your window coverings and improve the air quality in your house. Check out what you can do about it here.
How Often Should You Clean Drapes or Curtains?
