Dry cleaning at the factory.
It makes sense to do factory cleaning if we are talking about expensive exclusive materials that you don't want to risk under any circumstances. Basically, these are natural fabrics, such as velvet, silk, linen, etc. This method is also justified if the curtains are richly decorated with non-removable decorative elements.
When cleaning at the factory, the following technologies are used - water cleaning, dry dry cleaning and professional washing.
Water cleaner - intended for delicate fabrics. When processing, hydrocarbon cleaning agents are used, which carefully clean dirt, preserve color and texture. They are biodegradable and harmless to humans. The technology can also be used at home.
Dry dry cleaning is intended for dense fabrics that are contraindications to washing with water. Cleaning is carried out with means based on organic perchlorethylene, and removes 95% of dirt, with the exception of water-soluble stains. The disadvantage of this technology is the toxicity of the chemical, which makes its implementation at home impossible.
Professional washing - designed for fabrics with special markings. At the same time, the technologist selects the composition of cleaning agents and the washing mode in accordance with the individual characteristics of the material in order to avoid shrinkage or fading.

At home, the procedure is carried out on hanging curtains using only ecological technologies. Unfortunately, they cannot cope with serious pollution, and they are still unsafe for some categories of citizens. And the cost of calling a specialist home is usually 20-25% higher.
The choice is yours, but undoubtedly, both options are much better than asking to independently remove stains with solvents, or trying to wash curtains.
