Cleaning Down Comforters & Pillows
Cleaning Your Down Comforter – The typical home washer does not have enough ‘room’ in the basket to properly wash, rinse or dry a down item. In addition, it is critical that the item be microscopically inspected before processing. This pre-inspection is especially important because the slightest opening in a seam or weak spot in a fabric must be repaired before cleaning.
Otherwise, the mechanical action will cause some (or most) filler to escape and you will be left with a mess in the washer or dryer and a fluffless and downless garment or comforter. These items are best handled professionally. We have the equipment and chemistry especially designed to handle large, bulky items and the tools needed to carefully inspect and repair items prior to cleaning.
Cleaning Your Pillows – We are fully equipped to remove, clean and refresh the down in your pillows leaving you with a hygienically clean pillow inside and out.
Care Tips & Dry Cleaning Service for Your Draperies or Curtains
Al’s Cleaners are drapery cleaning experts and offer complete drapery cleaning services. Your draperies are very sensitive to their environment. Over time, constant exposure to the sunlight will weaken fibers, cause color fading or streaking and in extreme cases, dry rotting of the fabric.
Humidity will affect different fabrics in varying ways. In cold cause either shrinkage or stretching, but more importantly, it can create condensation and produce watermarks, which are very difficult to remove in the cleaning process. It is important if your draperies do become watermarked that you promptly arrange for cleaning. Fresh stains are more likely to be removed safely and completely, though with watermarks, there are no guarantees.
Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your draperies will help to prolong their useful life. We recommend routine vacuuming with the dust brush on your vacuum every 3-4 months and professional cleaning every 2-3 years for draperies and every year for sheers. This will remove the harmful effects of months of exposure to cooking fumes, dust, tobacco smoke, and other environmental pollutants. In addition, Keeping shades or blinds drawn will help to minimize the harmful effects of the sun.
