Winter curtain cleaning tips

Cleaning tools: softener, washing powder, feather duster, vacuum cleaner

Operating procedure: Different types of curtains require different cleaning methods. For flannel curtains, it's best to remove them and shake them by hand to let the surface dust fall off naturally. Then, soak the curtains in water with detergent for about 15 minutes. Make sure not to wring them too tightly to avoid damaging the fabric.

For suede curtains, use a vacuum cleaner with strong suction to remove loose dust. Before washing, shake the curtains outside to remove as much dust as possible. Then, soak them in warm water mixed with detergent for around 15 minutes. Avoid twisting or wringing them to prevent fluffing. It's better to wash them gently by hand. After washing, place them on a slanted rack to drain water naturally. Never expose them directly to sunlight, as this can damage the material and cause fading.

Always check the care label on your curtains before starting any cleaning process. If you're unsure about the best method, consider using a gentle cleaning solution specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Regular maintenance, such as dusting with a feather duster or using a vacuum, can help extend the life of your curtains and keep them looking fresh.
