If you are concerned about soiled drapes after flooding, do not despair.

What Can SERVPRO Do For Heavily Soiled Drapes In Durham?

Residents in Durham hope they will never fall victim to storm damage on their property, but there is no guarantee. If you cannot guarantee that water will not enter your home, the next best thing is knowing there is a remediation company you can trust.

Flood damage in Durham can leave textiles such as carpets or drapes soaked through and heavily soiled. Homeowners might find themselves worried about the state of their curtains and wondering if they are facing a huge dry cleaning bill, or even the need to toss them away.

Can SERVPRO help fix heavily soiled drapes?

Thankfully yes – we train our technicians in various textile cleaning methods, including methods well-suited to heavily soiled items. Our team will assess your curtains and test the fibers before deciding which cleaning method to use.

What are the best cleaning methods for heavy soiling?

Three of the best cleaning methods for heavily soiled drapes include:

    •    Hot water extraction is ideal for moderately soiled material and uses an upholstery machine to quickly flush out heavy soils and a dry vacuum for maximum effect
    •    Deluxe pre-condition and rinse is ideal for moderate to heavy soiling and uses a pre-conditioning solution for a deeper clean
    •    Showcase is our most aggressive wet cleaning method and is ideal for heavy soiling – it uses a two-step shampoo and rinse process

These three techniques are all wet cleaning methods. We also train our technicians in dry cleaning techniques, for drapes that are not suitable for wet cleaning.

What else can SERVPRO help with?

Our teams can help with much more than just cleaning your drapes. We can also:

    •    Clean carpets and other furniture and upholstery
    •    Test for moisture levels in carpets and inside walls
    •    Remove and replace damaged drywall
    •    Take steps to remove mold if needed after flood damage

Our cleaning process includes drying and deodorizing, to leave your home fresh, dry, and pleasant to live in once more. We can even help you move items out of your home, and back again if needed.
