Placing wet curtains is a popular practice among people who know how to save time, money and effort. However, it is a trick that not everyone knows and that is why working hours are usually used until we get the curtains ready to hang again.
How to wash curtains properly?
However, it is not only important to hang out wet curtains, above all, we have to wash them properly so that they last for many years and look beautiful in our home. For this we have to follow some basic steps.
1. Read the care instructions
All curtains carry a label where the manufacturer gives us washing recommendations. If you don’t keep it, it’s best, if your washing machine has it, to choose a specific program for curtains or delicate items.
2. Remove the hooks and rings
If the hooks or grommets on your curtains are removable, it is best to remove them and wash them by hand, as this will help prevent damage to the washing machine and ensure a more even cleaning.
3. Get rid of dust
Before washing the curtains, shake them gently to remove dust and dirt particles. This helps prevent further dirt from remaining during the washing process.
When they come out clean from the washing machine, it’s time to hang them, but if we do it with the curtains wet, it will be much better.
Why hang wet curtains?
The truth is that there are only advantages to extending wet curtains. Applying it wet prevents the formation of wrinkles and creases, as the fabric stretches while maintaining its original shape and drape. This way it looks like we ironed it, because it is in perfect condition.
However, we’ve saved ourselves that long task that almost no one likes to do, and we’ve also saved ourselves the cost of lighting the iron, so all of these are pluses.
