If they are dry clean only don't wash them because they might shrink

Answer 8

Answer 10

I washed my dunelm ones that said I could on a delicate wash so followed instructions and the shrank about 4 inches so I would advise not washing even if they state you can

Comments

@propositus can i ask were your dunelm curtains really stiff?  

---

No not really but as soon as I put any water or cleaning products on them ( for spot cleaning) they went quite stiff where the water or products touched them

---

@propositus pants. I may as well stick cardboard to the windows now by that theory

---

oh dear. U night get lucky. I’ve had other curtains I’ve washed and been fine just not my dunelm ones unfortunately

Answer 18

Cool wash and hang them back up to dry

Answer 19

Ive just washed a pair of curtains said dry clean i put thm on delicate wash and line dried today they are crease free

Answer 20

I have recently washed a pair that where supposed to be dry clean only & they turned out fine. I must say though I have a cycle on my washing machine called “curtains” so probs why they were fine

Answer 21

Wool wash cycle

Answer 22

If they lined be careful as sometimes the curtain shrinks but the lining doesn’t

Comments

@woods6109 my mum said that!  

Answer 23

Delicate wash but in time the lining will drop. You could hand wash depending how big they are. I do a delicate wash as you can't see the lining. Depends how fussy you are. It doesn't happen straight away. Wash rarely  

Answer 24

I put mine in the washing machine and the white layer on the back came off ‍♀️
