In the production process of curtains materials and other textiles, to improve the anti-wrinkle, waterproof performance, color fastness and the fire resistance properties, additives such as artificial resin are often added to the fabric. This sometimes makes the curtains more difficult or even troublesome to clean.
Step 1: Disassembly
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the curtain surface before disassembly. Do not pull hard parts in the parts that are stuck during the disassembly process. Separate the fork hooks from the curtains before removing the curtains.
Step 2: Soak The Curtains
Soaking with warm water, adding neutral detergent (washing detergent, laundry detergent, silky detergent, etc.) to the water is usually about one hour; if the curtain is not cleaned for a long time, it is necessary to extend the soaking time.
Step 3: Washing
Only the curtains of ordinary fabrics can be washed in the washing machine . Curtains of different textures have different washing methods. When cleaning, only the “checking seat” can guarantee the service life of the curtains.
Step 4: Dry the curtains
After the curtains are washed, they cannot be dried and exposed to the sun for a long time, which is easy to deform and discolor. It is recommended that you choose a cool and ventilated place to make the curtains dry naturally.
What are the precautions that you should take during the curtain cleaning process?

Rub gently rub to remove any dirt sticking on these items and rinse with tap water. Then put them in an airy place to dry naturally.
