May sound a stupid question but I fancy having net curtains for privacy but have no idea how to keep them clean.

I washing machine, on slow spin , low temperature, use bio soap powder and dry on the washing line, the real question will be how are you going to hang them, this is a problem if you have upvc (Double galsed windows) but there are ways around this.

I usually take them down and soak them in bleach water for about 1/2 an hour and then put them in the washing machine.

If I understand what you mean by "net" I think hosing them down in the shower would be the best...as a washing machine may leave them permanently wrinkled.

use cold water to remove dust
rinse through a couple of times
then a warm wash with small amount of detergent
rinse very well
squeeze excess water out and hang to dry
this was always done as part of the ''spring cleaning '' ritual
and we had real coal fires then !!

Wash em on a normal wash with bio powder, then rehang. No need to hang em out to dry!

When I used to have them I would take them down everyother month or so and soak them in nearly hot soapy water in the bath and then fry them on the line outside. That way they won't need ironing.

wash them on a 40 wash then hang them back up whilst there still wet so the creases drop thats how i used to do mine if you do them once a month it will stop them looking manky.

put them in the washer on delicate for no more than a few mintues with a very mild detergent. then tumble dry. it is as simple as that.
