Importance of Caring for Your Cozyology Curtains
Curtains are vital in adding beauty and functionality to your living space. At Cozyology Curtains, we emphasize the importance of caring for your curtains properly to preserve their high quality and extend their lifespan. Here's a detailed guide to maintaining your Cozyology curtains.
When Should I Clean My Cozyology Curtains or Drapes?
- Deep Cleaning: Every 3-6 months is ideal, especially for heavily designed or intricate styles.
- Routine Care: Weekly vacuuming with an upholstery attachment minimizes dust and allergens.
- Pet Hair: Use a lint brush or duct tape to control pet hair while vacuuming.

Dry Clean Drapes
Suitable for dry cleaning with any solvent except trichloroethylene.
Vacuum Regularly
