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.
