What people call us about

Window coverings collect dust quietly, so the call usually comes after a long gap.

  • The drapes look dusty and I cannot shake them

    Dust settles into pleats and folds and builds up over seasons. A shake or a vacuum takes the top layer and leaves the rest.

  • They hang by the A/C vent and have gone gray

    Vents push air through the fabric all year, and the dust goes with it. The bottom and the edges show it first.

  • The fabric is delicate and I am afraid to wash it

    Some drapery fabrics shrink or lose color in water. That is why we test a hidden spot first and choose the method after.

  • A smell has set into them

    Cooking, smoke and pets leave odors in fabric. Cleaning helps, and we tell you what to expect after we look.

  • I am getting ready to move or sell

    Drapes that stay with the house should look cared for. Tell us the date and the number of windows.

How a drapery visit goes

  1. Check the fabric and the lining

    The technician reads the label if there is one and looks at the weave, the lining and the hardware.

  2. Test a hidden spot

    A small test on a back hem shows whether the dye holds and the fabric stays stable.

  3. Remove loose dust

    Loose dust leaves first, so it does not turn to mud when moisture touches it.

  4. Clean by the method the fabric allows

    Some fabrics take light moisture, others need a dry approach. The test decides.

  5. Let them dry in place

    You hear how long to leave them alone and how to keep the air moving.

Window coverings in a house that runs the A/C all year

Central air conditioning is the norm here, and a vent near a window moves dust through curtains every day. EIA counted central air in 86 percent of Florida homes in 2009, and air conditioning at 27 percent of the energy those homes used. Fabric near a vent works hard, and it shows.
  • EIA: 86 percent of Florida homes used central air conditioning and 27 percent of home energy went to cooling (2009 data).Source

Before we arrive

Tell us how many windows and what the drapes are made of if you know. Keep the label if there is one, and mention any spill or smell so we can plan for it.

If the drapes have a lining or a heavy backing, say so. Afterward, keep the A/C running and leave them to dry fully before you close them against a window.

Questions about drapery and curtain cleaning

Can you clean my drapes without taking them down?
Often we can clean them on site, depending on the fabric and how they hang. The technician looks at them first and tells you what is possible.
Will cleaning shrink or fade them?
It can with the wrong method, which is why we test a hidden spot first. If the test shows risk, we change the method or tell you not to go ahead.
How long until they are dry?
It depends on the fabric, how much moisture went in and the humidity. Keep the A/C on and leave them open until they are dry.
Do you clean sheer curtains?
Yes, sheers are cleaned with extra care. Tell us the fabric and we will plan for it.
How often should drapes be cleaned?
There is no set schedule. Dust, smoke and cooking smells all shorten it, and so does a vent beside the window.

  • Debra W.

    I’m really thankful to have found Green Steam Group . They were very professional and on time with updates. I love companies with ethics. More work for them haha.

  • Aubree G.

    I spilled a full mug of black coffee over a costly Persian area rug and a splattered hallway runner. First the colors were tried and dark patches came out well without damaging fringe. Well spent money.

  • Alice P.

    Bright turmeric from a takeaway supper spilled across the dining room rug and left a bright yellow imprint. Stain experts used an oxidation treatment that lightened the yellow tint without damaging the navy blue design. The rug was rescued above my expectations.
