WASHING CURTAINS

If there is a washing instruction on your ready-made curtain, you should of course follow it. Select the recommended wash program – usually a wool wash program or a delicate wash program with a low speed. It is important that the water level is high. A high-water level protects the fabric. If you have large curtains, consider whether you prefer to run two washes instead of washing both curtains at the same time.

If you are not sure whether the curtains can be washed in the washing machine, you can of course also choose to wash your curtains by hand. Wring them out well or spin them at low speed. Whether you wash your curtains by hand or in the machine, it is a good idea to hang them while they are still damp to avoid unnecessary creases while drying. Place a newspaper or a towel under the curtains to catch excess water so your floor doesn’t get wet.

CLEANING BLINDS

The easiest way to clean blinds is with a blinds brush or a microfiber cloth. Are the blinds greasy? Then you have to use a wet or damp cloth. Use clean water and add a little washing-up liquid if necessary.

In principle, we do not recommend that you take off your blinds and then wash them. It is possible, but it is very time-consuming. Aluminium blinds and roman shades in New Jersey, in particular, can easily get nasty cracks in the sides, so be careful if you do venture into this. Carefully place the blinds in the bath or the bottom of the shower and wash with a soft brush, warm water, mild detergent, and vinegar. Maybe add a little rinse aid to the water you use to clean the blinds. This prevents stains. Hang the blinds for a while to let them dry before putting them back in the window.

For most slats, it is recommended to wash them in cold water. Some slats can withstand a temperature of up to 30 degrees. Therefore, always check the washing instructions.
