HOW DO YOU HAVE TO WASH THE CURTAINS?

The best time to wash the curtains or curtains are the spring and summer months , at least here in the north, So if you haven't done it already .. now is a good time to get down to it , let's go with some tips and tricks !!

Curtain Cleaning Sydney - There are several factors that we must take into account to determine the most appropriate frequency when cleaning our curtains or curtains ;  It is not the same if you live in a city or a town , since pollution is a major source of dirt , in the case of large cities or areas with a lot of traffic it is advisable to wash the curtains 2 to 3 times a year , on the other hand if you live in a Sydney in a more secluded area it  will be worth 1 time a year , because it is not advisable to wash the curtains every little time since they lose their appearance and will be damaged sooner .

We only recommend washing the curtains every little time if they are the kitchen curtains , since they get dirty much earlier from cooking and the fat from the stews or in the case of a home with smokers , the nicotine and tar vary the color of the curtains (it blackens and yellows them) , so do not smoke or do it in the street;)

Now that we know how often it is good to wash our curtains , we are going to look at the label to see its composition and its washing instructions . If you had no label (do not worry) the most curtains have some cotton and nylon or polyester , this type of fabric can be washed at home in the washer and can always ask where you bought.  Take into account the size of the curtain , that it is not excessively large or introduce them one by one and that it fits us well (It should not be too tight as it will be very wrinkled) and there are usually no problems with washing machines with a heavy load of 6 kg or more .

It is best to remove the hooks from the curtain tape , but if in your case you want to save this step or you can't, it is best to tie or put the head of the tape with the hooks in a washing bag for delicate garments. , as long as these are made of plastic . It is a trick with which you prevent them from catching on the fabric during washing or being swallowed by the washing machine .

When selecting the washing machine program , it is better that it be a specific one for curtains or, failing that, for delicate garments at a low temperature of 30º or cold and, most importantly, with a spin at 900 or 1000 revolutions never more, now that the washing machine picks up temperature when spinning , which can wrinkle and shrink our curtains .

Normally, except for curtains with a lot of cotton or linen , it is not necessary to hang outdoors or iron . The best thing is to be careful, that the washing machine program ends and quickly hang them back on the rail, rail or bar , with their own weight and being wet they stretch themselves without the need for ironing , it is also very pleasant as it smells like freshly washed clothes all over the room .

It is best to use a liquid detergent and do not forget to take a look at the curtain , before putting it in the washing machine, in case you have any stains , it is necessary to treat with an anti-stain spray , you know the rage to wash something and then discover that you had not seen any stain that still persists .

After all these tips and tricks, there is no one who can resist washing their curtains, to enjoy seeing them clean and with that pleasant smell that they give off , hehe!
