Extending The Life of Your Window Treatment

Click here to see how to Extend The Life of Your Window Treatment.

Investing in window treatments is not only a financial investment, it is also an emotional one. You have poured your artistic self into selecting just the right fabrics, materials, textures and colors. You have measured, shopped and measured again. You’ve researched all the various options and have found that your choices range from the simple Venetian blinds, Plantation Shutters, Draperies, and window shades made of various materials from paper to cloth to bamboo. So now that your windows are beautifully designed to reflect your personality, doesn’t it make sense that you would want to extend the life of your window treatment?

Hopefully, you have selected a classic look that will not fade with the passing fads. This in a fundamental design principal and it applies in all things decorative from clothing, to car colors, and yes, to window treatments! But if you have taken the plunge and decided to make a bold, trendy statement that doesn’t meet the typical standards, more power to you. You’ll still want your window treatment to last a good long while.

Unless using drapes as sheer curtains, always order your curtains and window treatments with a quality lining. This will protect your curtains from sun damage and weather to greatly extend the life of your window coverings.

Make sure that you have read and understood the manufacturer directions in caring for the materials of your window treatments. Using harsh detergents on wood window treatments may damage them. Most window treatment specialists only recommend dry cleaning window treatments to avoid shrinking and/or warping.

Use a Scotch Guard on your fabrics to protect them from little messy hands or from pets. Make sure you’re the Scotch Guard can be safely applied to your window treatment fabric.

Gently Brush your fabrics regularly to keepdust and dirt from accumulating and compromising the weave of your material. Dry clean on a regular basis.

Take the time to raise fabrics off of the floor before vacuuming underneath them to keep your draperies from being sucked into the vacuum.

I ordered an extended length drapery rod and finials from you about a month ago. Just wanted to let you know that I was very happy with how easy your site makes it to order the length I needed. I love the finish of the rod, and mostly I loved the price. I looked at a lot of websites and didn't find anything that compared to what Best Window Treatments had to offer. Wanted to be sure and let you know that I'm 110% satisfied with the quality and the service. Thank you.

Thanks. I will definitely recommend your company to all my interior designer friends here in West Palm Beach. I have a new home 5,100 sq.ft., with lots of windows. My friend who is an interior designer is working on my home and she loved the curtains I ordered from you. All of this to say, I am very happy you worked with me on this and will definitely be advertising on your behalf.

These curtains are so perfect. I'm using these as 3/4 length curtains in my bedroom but I would love to have them as full curtains in the living room, family room and den. I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am about the quality, material, construction and appearance. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just received my order today order and I am absolutely elated. I never ordered from your company before and was very apprehensive about just what I was getting.. Your color pictures were acurate. The color was exactly as stated and the workmanship is very impressive. I would recommend your company to any one who is looking for window treatments. Thank you for your prompt service because I was very anxious, both because I wanted to get them up and because I didn't know what to expect. Above Expectations!!
