to ask how often you wash your curtains?

[ThankGodItsAlmostSpringTime]

Mine are put in with the towels and bedsheets on their annual wash.

AIBU to be minging?

Ive lived in my house 9 years...

I don't have any curtains. Makes the annual wash easier.

I'm supposed to wash curtains? Damn.

what are curtains?

When the cat pisses on them.

I did the fabric blinds once...they don't go up and down any more lesson learnt!

None of my curtains would fit in the machine they are all too large. I suspect given the fabrics that they am would have to be dry cleaned.

they look fine to me...

what curtains?

Bedrooms once a year.
Front room go to dry cleaners once every 2 or 3 years.
Blinds - not washed or cleaned.
Other rooms don't have curtains.

Phew. My housekeeping skills are not as bad as I thought then.

Never washed any of ours. Ooops. They're all less than 5 years old though, does that make it ok?

How often do I what? my curtains? 😂

Well I washed them for first time in 5years as I had ran out of things to iron with my new novelty gadget.

I'm too scared to wash mine in case they shrink

I never bother; they never seem to get dirty at all. A bit dusty yes, but nothing that a going over with the vac attachment won't fix.

ignore I went through a phase of ironing EVERYTHING when I got a steam generator iron. My curtains sadly missed the memo!

Although I did while away a few hours today wiping 2 years of dust off the individual slats of the all the upstairs blinds. That was rather satisfying.

You have to what?

When I first moved into our flat I took the wooden kitchen blinds down and cleaned them with a toothbrush. It was rather satisfying I still give them a stroke every now and again when washing up...

I hoover mine but that's because one of the cats lies on the hem. He's a furry bastard and so are the curtains.

Did it once... shrank them so much they happily floated 1cm above the windowsill

people wash their curtains....

We have so many windows - quick count was 21, but maybe more - that curtains get vacuumed and that is it. TBH some windows have shutters which is easier.

How do they get dirty? Is it because you don't wear underwear to bed?
