Zeb Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I have some large sheer drapes that need ironing. I can't get it done on my ironing board, so I need someone who has a good space and is used to doing this type of thing. Whomever it is will really need to be careful. I'd appreciate some referrals.

artsnob Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Most dry cleaners won’t take draperies mine were dry cleaned in Mexico City but they did not have space to iron them, they suggested hanging them and steaming them, they had the steamer, and one of their men came and helped me and my housekeeper on his day off..

CHILLIN Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don't think you will be able to rent a steamer here. Other than a wallpaper steamer, which is too wet. There is cleaning company using steam but I don' t have their number. Dry steam really does work. It worked very well on some large tapestries which got creased in storage.

Zeb Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have had problems getting the curtains hung back up correctly, so I need someone who knows how to do that. Additional, I have draperies that need to be dry cleaned and also hung back up. Recommendations would be appreciated. I spoke with one upholstery shop and they can't help me.
