Washing curtains is not a problem. The problem is ironing them and hanging them back. One detail can complicate the latter tasks - improper washing.

We'll tell you how to learn to wash curtains so that you don't have to iron or steam them later.

First, you need to understand the material and then choose the appropriate washing mode.

Flax

You need to select a delicate wash cycle with a water temperature no higher than 40 degrees Celsius.

The speed is set to minimum, and the spin cycle is turned off completely.

But even in this case, it is unlikely that you will be able to avoid ironing.

Silk and organza

These materials are washed separately from other items in water at a temperature of no more than 30 degrees. You also need to turn off the spin and set the number of revolutions to a minimum.

It would be better to wash the items in a bag or pillowcase.

Velvet

Can only be washed quickly and only by hand.

Viscose

In this regard, the most democratic material. You won't have to iron it at all if you wash it without spinning and hang the product on the curtain rod immediately after the water drains.
