Most materials used in curtains can be washed in such a way that they require little or no ironing after washing.

To minimize the number of folds and creases in tulle, you need to follow a few simple rules.

1. Wash curtains only in a delicate cycle. The cleaning process should be carried out separately from other items.

2. When washing, set the water temperature no higher than 30-40 degrees to avoid damaging the fabric.

3. Use the spin cycle at a speed of no more than 400 rpm or turn off this function completely to avoid damaging the curtains.

4. After the washing cycle is complete, hang the curtains out to dry immediately, do not leave them inside the washing machine to prevent deep folds and creases from forming on the wet fabric.

5. After hanging the curtains on the clothesline, gently straighten the fabric so that it dries evenly.

6. Do not dry the curtains completely – hang the tulle on the curtain rod when it is still slightly damp.
