Hi again,
I need some advice on how to wash my curtains, I got them free :j from a hotel which is having a refurb. They are lined with a material that has a slight "rubbery" feel to them and I am concerned that when washed it may stick to itself.
They are in very good condition and I would hate to ruin them but I will not have them dry cleaned as I have a problem with the process.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Many thanks

Could you wash them on a cold wash, or maybe a handheld steam cleaner.DFW Nerd #awaiting number - Proud to be dealing with my debts!

It's likely that the rubbery lining is blackout lining, hold it up to the light and see if you can see thi light through it. Shouldn't think it would be a problem on a cool wash but the curtain fabric might shrink.0

I had some with a lining like this - it wasn't so much a lining as a finish on the back of the material - that had been given me and I washed them on a cool wash and they were fine. I don't have them anymore though as I shortened them for the window they were at and then we moved...0

I had some like this too! They washed absolutley fine on a 30 degree quickwash - but, I was scared to try the tumbledryer on them as mine was rather hot!0

I always hang mine up wet, and put the dehumidifier on them. We don't have a tumble dryer, or anywhere suitable to dry them!
I'd also go for a cold wash, but have no experience with this type of fabric..Swagbucks Amazon gift vouchers 2014 125/250
