Professional drapery cleaning costs an average of $190 per set, with most homeowners paying $100 – $250, according to Angi (2026 data).1 Corporate sibling HomeAdvisor (2025 data) publishes a different headline for the same service: a $244 average with most homeowners spending $143 – $352. The sibling pages don’t explain the difference, so each publisher’s figures keep their own labels here.1,2 Fixr (updated August 2025) separately reports an $180 national average – scoped to two sets of velvet-pleated curtains professionally dry cleaned – within an average range of $120 – $300, a $60 low end (one set cleaned), and a $400 high end (two sets of silk eyelet curtains cleaned by hand). Fixr’s headline range carries no per-set basis; its off-site cleaning table lists the same $120 – $300 span per set, labor included. The pages state no shared sourcing with the sibling pair.3 Prices below are national averages*. Angi and HomeAdvisor price per set (a set is all the panels covering one window); Fixr’s basis is stated per table.
*National averages, not local quotes. Your price depends on the fabric, the number and size of sets, the cleaning method, and whether the work is done on-site or off-site.

What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (2026 data, updated Oct 2026) | $190 average per set; most homeowners $100 – $250 | Corporate sibling of HomeAdvisor; material table identical to HomeAdvisor’s, but headline average and range differ – difference unexplained |
| HomeAdvisor (2025 data, updated Jun 2026) | $244 average; most homeowners $143 – $352 | Sibling-published figures; same material table as Angi, different headline |
| Fixr (updated Aug 2025) | $180 average (two sets, velvet-pleated, dry cleaned); average range $120 – $300; low $60; high $400 | Separately published figures, pages state no shared sourcing |
Cleaning cost by method
Angi prices the four main cleaning methods per set; HomeAdvisor’s matching figure is noted where it publishes the same span (sibling-published figures):1,2
| Method | Cost per set (Angi) | HomeAdvisor |
|---|---|---|
| Machine washing | $75 – $150 | – |
| Steam cleaning | $75 – $150 | – |
| Hand washing | $150 – $200 | – |
| Dry cleaning | $150 – $400 | $150 – $400 (drapes) |
Fixr separately prices methods per set, labor included, distinguishing curtains from thicker drapes:3
| Method | Cost per set (Fixr, labor included) |
|---|---|
| Dry cleaning (curtains) | $60 – $150 |
| Dry cleaning (drapes) | $75 – $200 |
| Machine washing (curtains) | $75 – $150 |
| Hand washing (curtains) | $150 – $200 |
Fixr’s dry-cleaning span is much lower than the sibling-published $150 – $400 for drapes; the publishers don’t explain the difference, and the figures are kept with their own labels rather than reconciled.
Per-foot and per-pleat pricing
Many cleaners price by the foot or pleat instead of by the set. Angi reports $2 – $7 per foot or $1 – $5 per pleat.1 HomeAdvisor separately prices off-site dry cleaning at $1 – $5 per foot and on-site cleaning at $2 – $7 per foot – about $50 more per set than off-site.2 Fixr separately reports on-site cleaning adding $25 – $60 per set, for totals of $120 – $300 off-site and $145 – $360 on-site.3
Cleaning cost by material
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish an identical material table with each fabric’s usual method (sibling-published figures):1,2
| Material | Usual method per Angi/HomeAdvisor | Cost per set (Angi + HomeAdvisor) |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester | Machine wash | $65 – $90 |
| Cotton | Machine wash | $65 – $150 |
| Linen | Dry clean | $70 – $200 |
| Silk | Dry clean or steam | $80 – $200 |
| Velvet | Dry clean | $60 – $150 |
| Lace | Hand wash | $150 – $350 |
| Wool | Dry clean | $60 – $150 |
Fixr separately publishes a wider material list, labor included. Where rows agree exactly with the sibling table (velvet, wool), the figures come from different publishers whose pages state no shared sourcing, and no further conclusion is drawn:3
| Material | Fixr’s stated best method | Cost per set (Fixr, labor included) |
|---|---|---|
| Chenille | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Velvet | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Wool and cashmere | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Linen | Machine washing | $75 – $150 |
| Cotton | Machine washing | $75 – $150 |
| Polyester | Machine washing | $75 – $150 |
| Chiffon | By hand | $150 – $200 |
| Voile | By hand | $150 – $200 |
| Lace | By hand | $150 – $200 |
| Silk | By hand | $150 – $200 |
The publishers disagree on method and price for several materials – for example, the siblings price linen dry cleaning at $70 – $200 while Fixr prices linen machine washing at $75 – $150, and silk is $80 – $200 (siblings, dry clean or steam) vs. $150 – $200 (Fixr, by hand). Method columns on this page repeat each publisher’s stated method for its own figures only – they are not our recommendation; always follow the care label on your drapes.
Cleaning cost by curtain style
How drapes attach to the rod changes the handling they need. Angi reports pocket and tab styles at $60 – $150 per set, with attached rings or grommets pushing the average to $200 per set.1 Fixr separately prices four styles with their best methods (labor included):3
| Curtain style | Fixr’s stated best method | Cost per set (Fixr, labor included) |
|---|---|---|
| Rod-pocket | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Tab top | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Pleated | Dry cleaning | $60 – $150 |
| Eyelet (grommet) | By hand | $150 – $200 |
Method labels in this table are Fixr’s stated best methods for its own figures; follow the care label on your drapes.
Blind cleaning costs
Blinds are priced on a different basis at each publisher. HomeAdvisor reports $20 per blind, with ultrasonic cleaning at $15 – $30 per unit and Venetian blinds at $10 – $20 per unit.2 Fixr separately prices blinds per set, labor included – a different basis, so the figures are not directly comparable:3
| Blind type / method | HomeAdvisor (per unit) | Fixr (per set, labor included) |
|---|---|---|
| Dry cleaning | – | $100 – $150 |
| Ultrasonic cleaning | $15 – $30 | $120 – $200 |
| Venetian (ultrasonic) | $10 – $20 | $120 – $200 |
| Roller / Roman / blackout | – | $100 – $150 |
| Wooden | – | $100 – $200 |
| Vertical / day-night | – | $120 – $200 |
| General professional cleaning | $20 per blind | – |
