Delicate Curtains

Curtains add charm to our homes, but they can be challenging to clean. Here's how to wash them:

Type of Washing Machine:

Use a front-loading washer with a delicate cycle to prevent damage.

Instructions:

  1. Remove hooks or hardware from the curtains.
  2. Place curtains in a pillowcase or mesh bag to protect them.
  3. Add a gentle detergent and set the machine to a cold or delicate cycle.
  4. Avoid overloading the machine to ensure thorough cleaning.
  5. Hang curtains to dry or use a low heat setting in the dryer.

Cozy Pillows

Revitalize your pillows while preserving their comfort with these steps:

Type of Washing Machine:

Use a front-loading washer for pillows without large agitators.

Instructions:

  1. Check care labels for specific cleaning instructions.
  2. Place two pillows at a time to maintain balance in the washer.
  3. Use a gentle cycle and warm water with mild detergent.
  4. Run an extra rinse cycle to ensure detergent is fully rinsed.
  5. Dry on a low heat setting or air dry with occasional fluffing.

Fabric Shoes

Keep your fabric shoes clean without compromising their quality:

Type of Washing Machine:

For fabric shoes, a top-loading washer works well.

Instructions:

  1. Remove shoelaces and any removable inserts.
  2. Place shoes in a pillowcase or mesh bag to protect them.
  3. Add mild detergent and wash on a delicate cycle with cold water.
