SERVPRO Utilizes Various Techniques to Restore Drapes as Part of Water Cleanup in Livermore

If you experience a water intrusion that damages your drapes, we can help. SERVPRO not only restores your building but the content too.

What Type of Drapes Can Be Restored?

Cleaning the content is part of our water cleanup services in Livermore. When it comes to drapery, we do a thorough inspection to ascertain what type of fabric and the condition. Different cleaning methods are required for different fabrics. Things to consider include:

• If the drapes are old and fragile, cleaning may harm them
• Curtains that are two years or less usually clean well
• Moisture and sunlight can cause damage over time

Restoring Drapery – What to Expect

Our goal is always to restore items to their former state. Once we have inspected the curtains and done pre-tests, we then decide on the appropriate cleaning method. Steps we take can include dry brushing and vacuuming. We then use a machine dry cleaning or hot water extraction method. This typically gets done while the drapes are hanging. The hot water extraction method gets used if the fabric is wet.
