RSSTake Care While Washing the Curtains
 |
Here we are giving few tips that will help you in washing the curtains.
SHEER GLASS FIBER CURTAINS: These curtains can be washed in hot bubbles. It should be taken care that these curtains, like glass fibre draperies, should not be ironed. They must be handled very soothingly like all curtains. But here, it is more than ever central not to mangle or twist them. Hard rubbing and rough treatments will distort the weave making the threads to break. This must be avoided. Dirt slides right off glass fibres. Therefore slap-dash methods are totally unnecessary.
SHEER WASHABLE RAYON CURTAINS: They should be are handled akin to silk but can be washed uniformly with mild detergents or unadulterated white soap flakes and warm water. Rayon fibres tend to be weak, therefore not be soaked before washing or hung with clothes pins. Juts roll them in a Turkish towel to remove the moisture. Rayon’s differ widely in the amount of heat. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer for ironing. Else warm irons, dialled for rayon, and raise it if more heat is required.
SILK CURTAINS: They fall into the luxury class. The directions for handling them are also applicable such as summer dresses and scarves.
WASHABLE SILKS: They should be hand laundered in lukewarm-to-cool suds made with a mild detergent. Handle silks gently, squeezing the suds through the fabric. Avoid rough treatment as it could damage the fibres.
LACE AND NET CURTAINS: They are often dry-cleaned. If to be washed, measure them first as it could be stretched to the right dimensions afterwards. Handle them like cotton curtains, using a nylon mesh or muslin bag if delicate. The threads of lace curtains are easily pulled or broken. These curtains should be stiffened with gelatin or gum Arabic.
The sheer glass fibre curtains could be hand washed, and not ironed. Some of Silk curtains are washable, but must be hand laundered in a lukewarm with an easygoing detergent.
