Washing – when it comes to washing your curtains, there are some that can be washed in a machine at a low temperature and then there are those that need to be either hand washed or dry cleaned. It is important that you carefully follow the guidelines on your curtains so as not to spoil them.

Tumble dried – even machine washable curtains should be air dried and never placed in a tumble drier. If you can find a place where you can safely lay them out flat to dry this is often the best option for ensuring that the fibres aren’t pverstretched whilst they are damp.This can lead to the curtains being pulled out of shape.
