How to Clean and Maintain Drapery?

Keep your curtains looking fresh and vibrant with regular maintenance cleaning:

• Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust along the vertical direction of the curtain. It is recommended to clean every two weeks, especially at the top where dust easily accumulates.
• Spot Cleaning: Gently clean stains with a mild detergent.
• Deep Cleaning: Choose the appropriate cleaning frequency based on the scene. It is recommended to deep clean the bedroom and living room curtains every 3-6 months; due to the greater impact of kitchen fumes and bathroom moisture, it is recommended to clean every 1-3 months.
