Drapery Cleaning & Repair

No other company in Canada has cleaned as many draperies as Cleanol, or stands behind its work with a more comprehensive written guarantee. And no other company better understands how to protect your drapery investment. Cleanol’s experience has demonstrated, time and time again, the crucial importance of removing the invisible dirt and other abrasives that build up to destroy the fabric and shorten the useful life of draperies.

Using skilled and specially trained personnel at our plant (on-site cleaning is also available), Cleanol assures tidy, safe drapery removal, cleaning and rehanging. Cleanol commercial clients enjoy superior drapery appearance, no shrinkage or uneven pleats.

No job is too big for Cleanol. We’re even experts in cleaning and caring for oversize and stage draperies, and provide certified flame proofing (refer to our flame proofing services for further information).

When it is time for replacement, Cleanol can also provide professional decorating services and turnkey provisioning of new drapes, blinds and window coverings.

Care and Cleaning of Stage Draperies

Properly cared for, quality stage and office draperies can last for many years. Improper care of the curtains will cause them to deteriorate in a matter of a few years. Your drapery setting may represent an investment of many thousands of dollars or more and in future years replacement costs may be even greater. Cleanol can assist you in establishing good housekeeping practices today, to extend the life of your drapery. You can be assured that will be time and money well spent.

Proper Curtain Cleaning

Dust and dirt are the greatest enemies of cotton, velour and other fabrics. It will discolor the nap and weaken the threads of the fabric.  Ccurtains should be dry cleaned every 3-5 years by specialized drapery dry cleaning methods to completely clean all saturated dirt and dust from the curtain. "Proper and professional" drapery dry cleaning will not deteriorate the curtain and to the contrary should allow a quality curtain to be used for 20 to 30 years or longer. *Tip:  Warning - Do not clean drapery with water or with carpet cleaning methods as they may remove the flame proofing properties of your curtain, causing the curtain to spot and or shrink.

Curtain Restoration - Tears & Snags

The nap of velour fabrics is not tightly locked into the mesh of the backing. If a tear or snag occurs, the nap will loosen and fall out at that point. For that reason, it is wise to repair tears immediately. Stage curtain restoration is best done by Cleanols’ professionals who use the proper backing materials sewn together against the tear in a matching tread.
