5 Top Tricks for washing curtains at home

Here are five tips and tricks for washing curtains at home:

1. Check the care label. The care label on your curtains will tell you what type of fabric they are made of and how to wash them properly. Some fabrics, such as silk and wool, need to be dry cleaned. Others, such as cotton and polyester, can be washed in the washing machine.
2. Remove the curtains from the rod. This will make it easier to wash and dry them. Be sure to remove any hooks or other hardware before washing.
3. Pre-treat any stains. If your curtains have any stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover before washing. Be sure to follow the directions on the stain remover label.
4. Wash the curtains on a gentle cycle. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the curtains.
5. Dry the curtains on a low setting. If the curtains are delicate, you may want to air dry them instead.
