🧼✨ How to wash your sheer curtains WITHOUT losing your pleats!
I’m showing you step by step how to give your sheer curtains a freshen-up at home, including one little trick that makes putting them back up SO much easier! 🙌
🖊️ MY TOP TIP: Before removing your curtain hooks, make tiny biro pen marks on the back of the heading tape, hidden out of sight, to show exactly where each hook goes. Biro doesn’t normally wash out, so you’ll know exactly where to put them back! Genius! 😂
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ ALWAYS check that your fabric and finished curtains are machine washable.
✅ Remove all your curtain hooks before washing.
✅ Use a small amount of mild detergent. Nothing too harsh!
✅ Choose a gentle 20°C cold wash, provided the care label allows it.
✅ Rehang your curtains straight out of the washing machine while they’re still damp! This helps the fabric hang naturally and allows the creases to drop out as they dry.
⚠️ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Even washable curtain fabrics can shrink or stretch during cleaning. Some fabrics have a dimensional movement tolerance of up to 3%, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications. Always follow the care instructions, as washing can affect the finished length of your curtains.
