Several special curtain cleaning methods

2021-09-22

In most cases, as long as your washing machine can eat well, the curtains can be thrown directly into the washing machine. There are three types of curtains, but they are not machine washable.



Sheer curtains-some are individual curtains, and some are decorated with a layer of tulle on the outside of the curtains. These curtains are not machine washable, and the washing machine may damage the fragile curtains. Even if it is not broken, it will deform the gauze.

Tassels-Many curtains are decorated with tassels, and these curtains cannot be machine washed. The main reason is that the tassels are too fragile. In most cases, the tassels will fall off with the rotation of the washing machine (no gentle washing method will work).

Velvet-Velvet cannot be machine washed either, this time due to the natural and delicate nature of velvet. Machine washing will deform, wrinkle, and harden velvet curtains, which will greatly affect the effect of future use.



Non-machine washable curtains can be rubbed with your hands-if you feel tired, you can spread them on the floor, buy a laundry wand, and beat them on the floor as shown on TV. What? Can't buy a mallet? A big rolling pin is also good, and a baseball bat is good. No matter how bad it is, just step on it with your foot! This method of hand washing is suitable for all curtains.

By the way, the cotton and linen curtains will shrink more or less the first time they are launched. Generally, when making curtains, the width will be reserved, so the effect is not big. But it may have a little effect on the length-washing with a neutral detergent will have a smaller effect.

Disassemble and dry

Many people are in the first step when cleaning curtains-they won't open it!

Curtains are generally installed with open-hole curtain rods or hook-type curtain rods or track-type installations. The open-hole curtain rods are easier to remove. Find the fulcrum and lift it up to remove the rod. Then remove the ornaments on both ends of the curtain rod, and then the curtain can be pulled out.


Both the hook type and the track type are fixed by the hook on the curtain. When disassembling, you need to take off the hooks one by one. It's good to say that when disassembling, it may be a little laborious when hanging.

Regardless of whether it is an open-hole type or a hook type, you only need to remove the curtains. Plastic hole clips and metal hooks do not need to be removed, just take them for washing.



Many curtains are afraid of wrinkles, so folding and drying is not allowed. You can choose to find a rope, hang the curtain hook or hole, and hang it vertically on the drying rack-of course, if the situation permits, you can directly hang the dried curtain in place and wait for it to dry in the shade.

Simple cleaning

If the curtains in your house have only been hung for a year or even less, it is not recommended to take them down and wash them-the more you wash and the thinner the curtains, the worse the functionality.

So when the curtains are not too dirty, simply do some cleaning and maintenance. The method is to use the garment steamer:



First use a feather duster or a long brush to simply sweep away the dust on the surface of the curtain, and then directly clean it with a garment ironing machine. If there is a peculiar smell on the curtains, you can mix baking soda with water and spray it on the curtains in advance.
