Or has this specialized cleaning become a lost art?

Ditto. In the 80s we cleaned A LOT of drapes. Kleenrite 240 HX. Not so much now.Not much demand for it anymore.
I sold my last ultimate about 10 years ago. Some guy from California drove all the way up to buy it. Apparently it was spec'd for Hunter blinds.Ditto. In the 80s we cleaned A LOT of drapes. Kleenrite 240 HX. Not so much now.

(I sound like am talking to a client)
Take it to the max.haven't tested but think its cotton
value? I'd give it a dumpster ride, but insurance company have ok'd up to $500 to return it to preloss condition..
I'll take it to $200 worth of work max
appears to be hopeless. Try distilled water? If that doesn’t work take it and dip it in the Jordan 7x’s...I read somewhere leprosy was cured.haven't tested but think its cotton

We had a complete in-plant drapery cleaning department, but it was a tiny part of our income, so when it was time to buy new machine we dropped it.Or has this specialized cleaning become a lost art?
If it’s declared a lost, try to grab it. Then work on it with different things and see which lightens it up etc. Test small portions at a time. Worth the practice for future jobs.Its water stain from a flood so has dried slowly/unevenly I'll have crack at it tomorrow
hopefully straightforward, if no after pics I failed lol
With high end cliental, you can hit them over the head. A very nice pay day for a few hours of tedious work. A lost art indeed.I turned a drape job down last week. Although I could have do e it, my time is better spent elsewhere.

do your local dry cleaners not clean for mould?Significant earner for us, but we only clean at our depot. Gave up in house cleaning many years ago.
Probably more than 95% are cleaning for appearance due to mould issues.

Don't think dry cleaning removes mould. At certain times of the year it accounts for about 20% of revenue. Suggest you may be underpricing your service but reluctant to say more due to local lurkers who look but don't ever contribute.do your local dry cleaners not clean for mould?
they do here, so I might charge $40-$60 for "mould treatment" onsite for couple of drops
