Removing
drapes from an opening is to be avoided, if for no other
reason than the fabric's inclination to wrinkle when crumpled or
folded. Even when carefully lain across a bed for instance,
flowing lines and folds are easily impaired by their own
weight.
It
makes little sense then to subject such materials to the rigors of transport and handling
by a cleaner. The same is doubly true for window coverings
made of delicate fabrics. Or when prolonged exposure to heat, humidity and sunlight
has resulted in oxidation and subsequent tender areas.
The very nature of
a traditional in-plant cleaning can
damage, and even destroy certain drapes with its
concentrated solvents and rigorous handling. |
