How to Clean Curtains
Buying curtains made with high quality fabrics gives any interior the elegant look you demand. So caring for these curtains must be done with their specific requirements in mind, or your curtains will be irreparably ruined, and no longer suitable for your living space.
Wool curtains can be washed, but should still be dry cleaned once a season. If soiled, they need to be washed immediately, but can still be hung dry at room temperature, which will also bring out the wrinkles. It is important to know that, when ironing wool curtains, not to iron them totally dry, and be aware that it is better to iron on the back of the material, or to use a “press cloth” if you must iron on the right side. Otherwise, the fabric will get a distasteful shine. While ironing, you can place brown paper or even tissue under the folds to prevent imprinting any inside detail.
If you choose to clean your curtains yourself, keep in mind that, in addition to usually not being preshrunk, they are often not color-guarded. They may also lose their shape, which means no more pleats. Also, water can damage some fabrics, like silk, or change their texture, so this ruins the way in which they hang.
 As with other home furnishings, curtains gather dust and dirt, even if not immediately visible. They also collect odors, and oil-based soils released into the air when cooking. Therefore, regular cleaning is advisable once a season, or at least once a year. Not only will this maintain their beauty, it will maintain a healthier interior environment, as well.
By properly cleaning your fine readymade curtains, with the specific needs of the fabric in mind, this will ensure you can continue to proudly display them in your living area for years to come
