Clean Curtains
I recently removed all the curtains in our four-year old unit and Frances washed and ironed them. I reinstalled them today and am very pleased with the results. Of course the fading is still there, however, new ones would fade pretty quickly also. The fabric itself is still in excellent shape. They were washed in cold water, on the gentle cycle, with Tide. The dryer was used on a gentle, cold setting to get most of the water out. We hung them to air dry for total drying. A light pressing and they were ready to go. Shrinkage was not a problem. The only “challenge” was reinstalling the front window which has a valance. I took the cover off the valance frame, but the installation is still tedious on this one.
If you have an older unit I highly recommend this process. The curtains are clean looking and clean smelling even though they are somewhat faded.
