Crystal white curtains: experts give advice
White curtains are sometimes tricky in terms of cleanliness. The experts explained how to achieve crystal whiteness.
Light curtains made of natural materials - reliable protection from the sun, pollen, dust flying from the street. But because of the city smog, you have to sacrifice this crystal whiteness. Nevertheless, there are still methods of caring for them.
Curtains should be washed twice a year. This is the minimum required to keep the curtains clean. At least visually.
Before washing, it is advisable to soak white curtains for 15-20 minutes in warm water with baking soda. Calculation of a free-flowing mixture - a tablespoon per 5 liters of water. In some cases, table salt is recommended. In the case of the latter, the proportion is 0.5 cups of salt per 5 liters of water.
After soaking, the curtains are placed in the washing machine. The washing mode is also used depending on the material of the product. If these are delicate, almost airy materials, then hand wash and gentle household chemicals are required.
It is better to use special fabric bags for curtains. So the material will not cough and retain its appearance for a long time.
The need for ironing will be related to the texture of the material. If it is a corrugated material, it may not need to be ironed at all.
Spraying curtains with water from a spray bottle. Dirt from the street settles on one side of the fabric and does not penetrate the room. The curtain acts in this case as a filter.
