To clean screen curtains, you can manually wash them in cold water using a mild detergent.
Screen curtains, often made from durable mesh or synthetic fabrics, can accumulate dust and dirt over time. A gentle hand-washing method is effective for removing these particles while protecting the material.
Here is a simple way to clean them:
- Prepare a basin: Fill a bathtub or sink with cold water.
- Add detergent: Add a mild detergent to the water.
- Immerse and clean: Place the curtains in the water and swish the curtains around to help loosen and remove any dirt or dust clinging to the fabric.
- Drain and rinse: Drain the dirty water. Then, rinse the curtains thoroughly with cold water until all soap residue is gone.
After washing, you can gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and hang them to air dry, preferably back in their installed location to help them maintain their shape.
