Professional Cleaning of Custom Drapery and Fabric Shades
NY Drapery Care’s only service is cleaning higher end custom drapery and fabric shades including the full line of Hunter Douglas® fabric window treatments.
We work with homeowners and interior designers
What We Do
New York Drapery Care provides a headache-free, end-to-end resource for the cleaning of custom fabric window treatments. Our service includes professional removal and reinstallation.
By handling the entire process, we can protect the window treatments during your renovations or painting, keep them out of the way of contractors, and allow projects to move forward smoothly for everyone involved. Motorized solar and blackout shades are cleaned onsite.
Who We’re For
We work with homeowners and interior designers who are ready to address cleaning their fabric window treatments. Most of our calls are prompted by a specific event— a renovation, a painting project a water issue, or simply the realization that the drapery or shades are overdue for a professional cleaning.
Many of our projects come through long-standing relationships with interior design firms, where we are brought in as part of a larger job to prepare the home for further work. Depending on the situation, we are happy to work directly with the homeowner or through the design firm.
How We’re Different
Our only specialty is the cleaning of fabric window treatments, and that focus shapes how we operate.
We do not rely on a single, standardized cleaning method or approach. Every job is evaluated individually to determine the safest and most effective way to clean it. Much of this work is performed in our dedicated workroom, allowing us to use techniques that are simply not possible in a residential setting.

Our Process
01.
Our process begins with a careful evaluation of each project to determine the safest and most appropriate approach. In most cases, window treatments are professionally removed and cleaned by hand in our workroom. All Hunter Douglas® fabric shades are removed and cleaned in our workroom, as are sheer panels and the majority of drapery.
02.
Certain window treatments, such as motorized solar shades, blackout shades, or oversized pieces, are cleaned on site when removal is impractical or unnecessary. These decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, based on the type of treatment, its condition, and what will provide the best outcome.
03.
Once cleaning is complete, all removed treatments are carefully reinstalled on their original hardware. If hardware has been removed by other contractors, it must be reinstalled prior to our return.

EXCELLENT Based on 142 reviews Posted on Gautam KediaNovember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure to work with Charles at NY Drapery Care, beginning to end. We were getting 5 Hunter Douglas Silhouttes cleaned ranging in age from 5 to 18 years. Charles did a great job explaining the pricing, timelines and watch outs (for example, one of blinds had a small paint stain, and he explained upfront that it might be impossibe to get that off completely, but given it's location it really didn't matter!). He installed temporary paper blinds to ensure we didnt have any privary concerns while our blinds were out for cleaning. The blinds came back very timely and in great shape. I have no reservations in recommending NY Drapery Care. It was a pleasure working and conversing with Charles throughout the process.Posted on Anne FlanneryOctober 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charles and his team were terrific. They came day after I called, removed drapes for cleaning and storage while I had my windows replaced and rehung within a week of my call to return. Team was cordial, efficient and neat. They did terrific job.Posted on GiselleOctober 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first time talking to Charles, I can feel his passion and confidence over his work. Kelly and the crew are very professional too. Instead of doing an on-site inject/extraction cleaning recommended by Hunter Douglas, they removed the sillouttes and took back to workshop for a deep cleaning. I will attach before and after pictures to show how terrific the result is!Posted on Carolyn CoffmanSeptember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and high quality workPosted on Val AckermanAugust 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. NYC Drapery Care made our 17-year old living room drapes look brand new — soot and stains are completely gone. The service they provided was also prompt and professional. Highly recommend them!Posted on David IngramAugust 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived in New York City for 37 of my 59 years and in this time I have only worked with the top one percent of one percent of wealth and my entire career has been built on extreme customer service as my field of work is pure luxury and that is the only way to truly set one apart. My standards are so high and I have made it nearly impossible to ever feel that I have the same treatment given to me that I have given to others. I was referred to Chuck and his service first for blind cleaning and repair and after my first talk with him, after hours I might add, he told me about his drapery cleaning service. It was not something I had heard of or entertained as my curtains were a gift from a very affluent client and were made for me in embrodiered silk taffeta and I assume they would just never come down and I would just wait for them to fall apart. When Chuck came to my home, he suggested I clean them and because his confidence, assurance and demeanor were so reassuring, I decided to move forward with his advice as he presents himself with the utmost professionalism. I am a bit of a control freak and also highly detailed and organized and Chuck answered each and every text or email with timeliness and good humor and also delivering on his promises of time and agreed upon communication. Today, he and his lovely assist, Kelly, installed what looked like brand new drapes with not one pucker or gathering from where they are artistically stitched. Without asking, he installed them without the hard pressed look of pleating, but rather allowed their volume and flow to naturally hang which was a testament to his own good taste and observation of the luxury of certain fabrics. One could eat off all the surfaces he touched and he would not allow me to lift a finger, only to relax and savor what was the most stress free part of my redecoration. In a world where so few care, I can promise you that Chuck will not meet, but rather he will exceed all expectations one might have and also raise the bar for what one will accept from others. He is in a class all his own and takes cleaning to an art form. He , to me is a restoration expert, not a drapery cleaning service. And to boot, he is now called my friendPosted on Joey BautistaAugust 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charles was excellent to work with. Extremely responsive. Everything came back beautifully!Posted on Carol ColeMay 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was so lucky to have Drapery Care handle the much needed cleaning of my roller shades. Charles, the owner, was easy to reach and work with. He was very professional—always returning my calls/texts quickly and thoroughly answering my many questions. The pickup and return of my shades also went exactly as scheduled. After seeing my shades, Charles even revised his initial estimate downward saying it was not as big a job as he had thought. My shades now look like new. Thank you, Charles and staff.Posted on Laura McSherryMay 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am thrilled with my shades. NY Drapery Care removed my motorized shades, cleaned and reinstalled them. They look new! A very professional team. I highly recommend them.Posted on Christine KovnerMay 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience.
