However, not all of us do this regularly, and often this event is reduced to once a year during a general cleaning. Let's look at how you can simplify this process, informs Ukr.Media.
Selection of products for washing curtains
When choosing detergents, it is important to pay attention to the material of the curtains. Prefer a liquid gel, as powders can be more aggressive. Using fabric softener will help prevent static and creasing of the curtains.
