Ever bad them look limp, faded, and not quite clean enough? These are things that happen when we give curtains and drapes strictly amateur treatment when it comes to cleaning. On the other hand, there's pure oy in a womans eyes when she surveys curtains that have been properly cleaned. Curtains like this have a spanking-clealook, they bang straight, and they have retained their color. Dirt which creeps into the house ia windows, as well as the sun which dries out the thread of curtain material work havoc with the best of window coverings. For these reasons, extra care is necessary to keep curtains looking nice and avoiding the expensive replacement cost which they would otherwise necessitate. Too much cannot be said in favor of constant cleaning This does not mean laundering every few weeks, but it does mean applying a vacuum attachment to them when you do your weekly cleaning to get rid of the surface dust which will otherwise clog the fibers, and make them more difficult to launder. Curtains can be kept cleaner, too, when windows are cleaned weekly or depending upon the dirt in different communities. EVER Curtains Need Special " Care When Washed Rinse curtains but do not soak them in water as a procedure. You can get a lot of dirt out of curtains by giving them a brief cold water finse. Soaking them, however, would tend to weaken the delicate fibers, which have d frequently been Filmy laces and delicate sheers should not be washed without some protection. In fact, if the curtains are very fragile, they had best be washed in lukewarm water with mild soap, by hand. Simply squeeze the suds m and out of them as you would a sweater qr some woolen garment. For the somewhat more durable types, but still fragile curtains, place each panel in a pillowcase and sew the top with basting stitches. In this way the rough action of the washing machine will be buffered- by the case. If you intend using a curtain stretcher for drying the fragile curtains, place a strip of muslin at top and bottom of the curtain with pins or basting stitches so that the pins of the stretcher will not tear the curtain.

Then, keep the measurements so you wont have to go through all the measuring again when you launder. If you use a curtain stretcher, wash all curtains which are the same size at the same time so you will not have to reset it for each pair.

It isnt always necessary to remove the curtains from the rods when washing the windows, since most of them can easily be lifted off with their rods, thus making the return trip simple. Curtains and drapes should not be allowed to get too dirty before cleaning, since this only makes more effort necessary to wash them. Naturally, when curtains are washed long and hard, they will weaken.
