Instructions prolong drapery life When buying drapes, ask for totally preshrunk fabric. Ask about the colorfastness of the fabric and its resistance to fading from light and at­ mospheric exposure. Linen drapes usually last longer. Read all the care instructions that accompany the purchase. Ask for them if they are not of­ fered and share this information with the Hrycleaner when the drapes are cleaned. To prolong the life of draperies, clean them frequently, at least once a year, and vacuum regularly between cleanings. Rotate draperies if possible to vary light exposure. Protect draperies from moisture, such as rain through an open door or window or condensation on the window panes. Many drapery fabrics are surface printed rather than died. Some of these colors, especially very deep or bright colors, are not colorfast. Often the color loss is unobjectionable, but it is wise to have all mat­ ching draperies cleaned at once, so any dulling of color is uniform. Matching bedspreads and furniture covers should also be cleaned at the same time.
