Curtains should be cleaned often as possible as they tend to accumulate dust and dirt. And with a variety of cleaning options available nowadays, there’s no excuse for neglecting them.

Wash unlined curtains according to the instructions provided on the label.
Have lined curtains professionally dry-cleaned to prevent possibly ruining them.
Wash large curtains in your bathtub to prevent damaging your washing machine.
Boil rusty curtain rings in vinegar to rediscover their shine. Rub soap on old curtain rods to make them run smoother again.
Toss your curtains into the dryer for a quick job. Add some fabric softener to the machines air-dry setting and you’ve got fresh-smelling curtains in no time at all.
