As usual there is limited to no budget for replacement. Was hoping we could minimize the look. Will just have to live with it and put it up for replacement in the future budgets. ThanksTo my knowledge any field retreatment is going to have a much more limited life than the original. The ones I know of only have a 1-3 years warranty on reapplied flame retardant. even with a reapplication, without washing there is no way to guarantee you'll get the color to look right.
I explored cleaning a few years back and found a company that will bring a truck to your venue and clean all of your drapes in one go. It wasn't cheap, but their suggestion was to try and partner up with multiple sites to split the travel costs. They would clean and retreat on site, but he did mention that some shrinkage would occur.
I can't remember the specific costs, but it was cheaper than a new cyc. It was close enough though that it did not make sense to get it cleaned unless we also did all of our drapes too. Ended up not going forward with the process. https://www.onsitedraperycleaner.com/
As has been said, the fire retardancy has been compromised and retreating or replacing the whole drop would be the prudent thing.
