Your home is filled with various items which require constant laundering, and your curtains are probably the most neglected. Bed sheets and comforters are washed monthly but when did you last wash your curtains? While there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to laundering curtains, the general guideline is to give it a deep cleaning every 12 months and vacuum once a month.
Curtains might not cost an arm and a leg but there is no harm in putting in a little effort to care for them so they last longer. Window dressings come in various fabrics and some require specific cleaning solutions or procedures. By law, all furnishing fabrics must be provided with a Fabric Care Label to advise correct and suitable care instructions for your specific fabric, usually on a hang-tag or a label sewn on. Simply refer to your Care Label before cleaning and you can’t go wrong.
