Clean non-washable surface curtains

Panel curtains that you can not wash or clean, you still get clean again.

There are some things that I just do not like to accept. I bought panel curtains with an orchid motif a few years ago at Ikea. Cost factor (without rail system) 40 Euro. Not really cheap.

When I moved in last year, I brought the curtains to the dry cleaner; good cheer, they would cleanse me. None. The cleaning staff said that they would not guarantee that after cleaning the motives would not have disappeared. Cost factor per curtain (and there are 3 pieces) for cleaning 9.50 euros. So almost acquisition value.

Today I have taken a heart. Since I had provided the curtains, at that time with Velcro (for fixing to the rail system), I have today stuck a 60 cm strip above the bathtub, to the tiles. Handwarm water in the tub, with washing powder, curtain clean (but please do not press too much and crumple). The dirt is synonymous so out, if you pull the curtains repeatedly from the top down through the water. And I can tell you ... in just 4 years accumulates a lot of dirt in it.

Then the curtain is attached to the Velcro strip on the tiles and rinsed off the excess of detergent with the shower. I left the complaint bar while washing in it. Finally, the curtain rolled over the appendage bar to the sausage, briefly in a towel and right back to the window. Super white, super fresh fragrance and ... smooth as new from the packaging.

In 2-3 places, I have a few threads still removed on the edge; although I'm not sure if they were not there before washing.

So anyone who has non-washable surface curtains, I can only guess .... just try it. There are, to my knowledge, very few materials that can not survive such treatment.
