Drapery Care, On-Site
Floor-to-ceiling drapes in a prewar NYC apartment collect radiator dust, window condensation, and years of city air. We clean them in place, so you're not without window coverings for days.
What's Included
How It Works
We check fabric weight, lining, and pleat style before choosing a method.
Dust and debris are removed from folds and pleats before any wet cleaning.
Low-moisture or ultrasonic methods clean drapes in place, without full removal.
Panels are reshaped so pleats hang correctly once dry.
We confirm drapes hang evenly and look right before we leave.
The NYC Difference
Prewar apartments across Manhattan often have tall windows with heavy, lined drapery that's expensive and impractical to take down and haul to a dry cleaner. Steam radiator heat kicks dust into the air all winter, and that dust settles directly into drapery folds near the window.
Window unit air conditioners are another factor unique to NYC apartments — condensation drips can streak curtains and sheers hung too close to the unit, leaving stains that regular dry cleaning methods don't always fully lift.
What affects your price: Price depends on panel count, drape length, fabric weight, and whether lining is present.

Drapery collects dust and residue slowly, and since it hangs above eye level in most rooms, it's easy to overlook until the buildup is significant.

“Pet stain removal actually worked — no more smell, even in our small studio. Booked them again for the sofa.”

Most apartments are done in 1 to 3 hours depending on panel count and fabric type.

"Curtain cleaning near me" in NYC often points to dry cleaners who need the panels dropped off and picked up days later. We clean on-site instead, which matters for the floor-to-ceiling drapery common in prewar buildings that's impractical to take down.
