DrapeCare / Commercial
Commercial drapery & fire-retardant re-treatment
We clean sanctuary drapes, stage curtains and hotel drapery in place, then re-treat fabrics that rely on spray-on flame retardant and document it for your inspector. Most rooms are done in a single visit with no rigging crew.
Who we work with
- Churches and sanctuaries
- Theaters, auditoriums and event venues
- Hotels, resorts and vacation rental managers
- Country clubs and restaurants
- Senior living and assisted living
- Schools
Scheduling around you
Early mornings, weekdays, or the day after a big event. Tall stage curtains and sanctuary drapes stay on their tracks, so there's no take-down crew and no week of empty rigging.
What the paperwork covers
- Whether the fabric is treated or inherently flame resistant
- The product used and its NFPA 701 listing
- Where and when it was applied
- A match test on a sample from a hem
- Drape count, color and location
- A note that it's void after the next wet cleaning
Questions
Does cleaning remove flame retardant?
Most spray-on flame retardants are water-soluble salts, so wet cleaning removes them. Treated drapes should be re-treated after every cleaning. Fabrics that are inherently flame resistant, like Trevira CS, keep their rating and don't need it.
Who needs flame-resistant drapery?
Places of assembly (churches, theaters, venues, restaurants with 50 or more people), schools, hotels, dorms, and assisted living and health care. Private homes and vacation rentals generally don't, though some owners choose it.
Will the fire inspector accept your certificate?
Inspectors decide what they accept. We document the product, its NFPA 701 listing, the application date and a match test on a sample, and we recommend confirming with your fire marshal before the job.
