Services
Local Family Owned: In 2001 our business was founded in a Shorewood storefront by the wife of a Joliet policeman. In 2003 the shop moved to a building on Theodore St. in Joliet with expanded cleaning capabilities as Bert and Miriam Bolton bought the business and continued to expand operations. In 2016 we to a larger facility in Crest Hill and have now serviced over 10,000 clients from across the Chicago region and NW Indiana.
We can clean just about any type of custom window treatment. From silks to sheers imported from France, we've handled a wide range of projects over the years for our clients with confidence. We can guarantee there will be no shrinkage or fabric damage with our injection-extraction (dry solvent) cleaning method.
We have the equipment and expertise to clean all types of custom blinds and shades. While ultrasonic cleaning does an excellent job on many types of blinds and shades, it isn't the safest or best method for other types of shades. For fabric shades such as Luminettes, Silhouettes or honeycomb shades and many commercial roman shades, an ultrasonic cleaning provides a safe and effective deep cleaning method.
Whatever the proper cleaning method may be for your upholstery, office panels or other custom fabrics, we have the equipment and expertise to take care of it. We clean custom fabric upholstery using methods and cleaning chemistry appropriate to the type/blend of fabrics. No tags or don't know what it is?
While giving life to older blinds with a complete restringing is porbably our most common repair. We have the tools and parts to do a variety of repairs on all types of custom blinds and shades. Over the past decade we've accumulated a "few" parts and can promptly repair most shades here at our shop.

We had 2 of our Luminates cleaned and when they returned they were in worse shape then when sent them. The service person, Bert, told us to leave them stacked after he rehung them. We complied and that evening when we went to close them up they would not meet or close flat. The veins where all bowed. Called Friday night received call back on Saturday morning. Would be squeezed in late Tuesday to steam them. Received a call after 5 on Tuesday telling us he had 2 more stops before us and didn't know when he would get to us. Then Bert told us how slammed he was and would try to fit us in.

This is our first time using a Drapery Cleaning service. We called our store where we had recently purchased blinds, & asked for a recommendation for Drapery Cleaning.
Bert, & Michaela, from Louvers Lane Blind & Drapery Cleaning, cleaned our Drapes ON SITE! So very satisfied with an excellent job. We had 4 windows that have Swag, some with drapery to the floor. Bert, the owner is very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. We called him on Saturday, and he was to our home on Monday afternoon. We highly recommend this company for all your Drapery & Blind Cleaning.

We needed 3 Floor-to-Ceiling Roller Shades cleaned after moving into a high-rise condo. They had survived several renters & a complete renovation; we thought about donating them but figured it was at least worth a try to clean them. So happy we did ! I made the drive out to Crest Hill to save time & the cost of picking up/delivering them back to Chicago.
So worth my effort. They were wonderful, offering to clean them immediately ( I had lunch plans 30 mins from Crest Hill giving them 4 + hours ) I was able to pick them up that afternoon saving me a return trip from the city. They were

I took two sets of faux wood blinds here and they did a great job. My white blinds were embarrasingly dirty and they cleaned them up very nicely. The price is so reasonable.
Do you really want to clean each and every blind slat front and back? I don't. The people working there were very nice too.
I will make this my new blind cleaning place.

We have used this business twice on two separate blind repairs and both times the work has failed on the first attempt to operate.
Our first experience with Louvers Lane was when we brought a fabric blind made by Bali in for repair. The strings were broke and the blind no longer functioned. We brought the bling home, hung it and it still didn't work (left side did not drop all the way) even though it was "re-strung". So we brought it back and we were told "it works fine here". This blind still, to this day, does not close without pulling it from the bottom.

This review is being written much later than I intended but my sentiments about the quality of work I received from Louvers Lane have not lessened over time. On Saturday, December 12th, I called Louvers Lane after having checked Yelp reviews on other blind cleaning companies. After explaining what I needed done I was pleasantly surprised to be told that the work could be done that same day. I was expecting a wait of anywhere from three to seven days. Bert arrived early that morning, carefully took down and wrapped my sheer blinds and drapery panels and informed me that he would be returning with

I brought some blinds in to be cleaned and one needed to be repaired. I wasn't sure the blind could be repaired it was really falling apart. Not only was that blind damaged but another blind was also damaged that I didn't even notice. Bert noticed the damage. Bert took a look at both damaged blinds and said they needed to be glued but that it looked like a factory defect and if I would like him to he would call the factory and see if they would replace them. He did call the factory and they said yes they would replace the blinds. However the factory would not allow Bert to handle this transaction

Unless you have the patience and time to wait for your drapes to be dry cleaned, do not take your drapes here! My drapes were sitting in their shop for 2 weeks--untouched! I called 4 times and left 2 messages, to see when they would be ready. Because no one responded, I drove there to find out what was going on. Rang the bell 2 times before an older lady, Jean, appeared from right behind the dividing wall. It's like she was just standing there deliberately not wanting to acknowledge that two separate customers walked in and rang the bell. When I asked about my drapes, she simply said it&apos

I just had my Hunter Douglas Silhouettes cleaned by Bert. Impeccable service. HD Silhouettes are a significant investment and I was worried about cleaning them. Bert picked them up and returned them 2 days later; this included living room, dining room and kitchen picture windows. They honestly look brand new! As another reviewer stated, he also checked the hardware and replaced support clips. My kitchen Silhouettes actually had an unidentified splatter on them and it is completely gone! They are bright white again, and I could not be happier. Would recommend to anyone!

Wow! Really great service. When I called Bert he responded quickly and arranged to come to my house to pick up my blinds. I didn't have to lug them somewhere. Then he cleaned and returned them within two days. He could have done it even sooner but our schedules didn't mesh. He showed up right on time or texted to let me know he was running a few minutes late. That's a courtesy that I don't often receive from home service people.
Bert knows his blinds. He was able to clean my extra long Hunter-Douglas shades; another cleaner I called couldn't do it. Also, when he brought
