Usually housewives do not wash curtains very often, limiting themselves to two or three procedures per year.

This is really quite enough to keep the curtains more or less clean and fresh.

But what should you do if the previous wash was relatively recent, and the curtains are already dusty?

There is no need to put them in the washing machine, especially if there is no serious contamination.

Moreover, there is no need to even remove the curtains. You can clean the material from dust without putting in any special effort.

Using a racket

It is clear that you will need a vacuum cleaner. But there is a problem: the device can suck in the curtains.

However, there is one life hack that allows you to protect the material from damage.

It is enough to use a tennis or badminton racket. Sports equipment should be kept between the vacuum cleaner brush and the curtain.

In this case, dust will be removed from the curtain and the fabric will not be drawn in.

Other options

But what to do if neither the hostess nor the household members are into sports, so there are no rackets in the house?

No problem! There is a way out in this case too. Gauze will come to the rescue. Or nylon tights.

It is enough to put any of these materials on the vacuum cleaner tube and fix it with an elastic band.

The effect is the same as using a tennis racket: the curtains are cleaned of dust without being sucked in by the vacuum cleaner.
