Dry clean. If anything goes wrong when you wash it, you can't very well take it back. There are some fabrics that just plain shrink in water of any kind. Some dyes run or bleed. They don't put cleaning instructions on things because they have leftover printing ink they want to use up.
That said, you can buy a product in the grocery store that allows you to dry clean in your dryer. It costs a bit, but you can clean several items at the same time, so it is really fairly inexpensive. I've used it several times for my down parka and wool sweaters with excellent luck.

"Dry clean only" items are not only designated as such because they're delicate. A lot of times it's because laundering them (in water and detergent, even if it's by hand and air-dried) will change the qualities of the fabric. This might include shrinkage, color bleeding, eliminating water repellent, etc. With dry cleaning, they use a solvent instead of water and detergent to clean the items. This solvent does not affect the qualities of the fabric. I even had a sheepskin rug cleaned at the dry cleaners and it came back just like new. If you want to take the chance on laundering the curtains and possibly damaging them just to save a few bucks, that's up to you. But, it seems to make more sense to not take that chance and just have them dry cleaned. The cost to clean them is certainly less than the cost of replacing them if they get damaged by laundering.

Take it to the dry cleaners. Ask them to replace the fluid,
in the machine, because it is white. They will safely clean it in dry cleaning fluid.

If it's not suede or leather, then the only way I know how is to put it in a washer with a "hand wash" cycle on it. I have a front loader that has this option - I'm not sure the top loaders do.
It will barely slosh it around enough to get it clean. Then you can either hand it up or put it in the dryer on "Delicate" or "Air only" for 1 cycle then hang up

Take it to the dry cleaners and ask them to clean it ONLY when they change the fluid. Old fluid can turn white to yellow sometimes.

You have two choices, travel back in time to 1979 and take it to the dry cleaners or send it to Tony Soprano and he will take care of it for you.
Have a good night.

Dry clean it. If you wash it, it will never be the same.

I would take it to the dry cleaner, but you could purchase one of those Dryel kits to use. I have heard good things about the Dryel brand, but have not used it personally. :)
