I am shortly moving out of a rented property and the 'aide memoire for leaving your property' wotsit which the letting agents have given us specify that we need to dry clean the curtains.
But I have just rung our local Johnson's for a quote - and it's £59 a pair!! Given that there are about 6 pairs of curtains in the house, this would a few hundred pounds. And they are not dirty! They are light-coloured curtains, but we haven't soiled them in any way, we don't smoke or have pets, they just hang there....
AIBU to think dry-cleaning curtains is way OTT and would make no practical difference to their appearance? I am tempted to just run one set through the washer and see if they survive okay, or just even spritz them with linen spray
Or is dry-cleaning your curtains once a year or so normal?
