Draperies and curtains are very effective when it comes to trapping airborne allergens, so you might just breathe easier if you get rid of them. With or without fancy vacuum attachments, it’s nearly impossible to properly clean them while they’re hanging. If you just can’t bear to let go of the drapes, then use easy-care materials that you can wash frequently and hang again without any hassle. Taking drapes and curtains to the dry cleaner may seem like less work, but keep in mind that the cleaning fluids used for dry cleaning are toxic to the environment and emit substances that also may not be good for you. |
