TIPS
Window treatments should be cleaned on an annual basis. If the homeowner is an allergy sufferer then every six months is recommended. Remember it is difficult at times to see dust build up on fabrics and because of that the homeowner tend to think that the drapery is not dirty. Simply touching the fabric can cause the dust to go flying in the air. If you allow the naked eye to see layers of dust on the fabric then you risk the chance of destroying the fabric.
