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?

I think I did the living room curtains when we moved, (8 years ago). None of the others have ever needed it.

[iyamehooru]

Never. You shouldn't wash them.

[Raia]

I can't reach mine to get them down: will they be full of dust mites and fungus?

[toptomatoes]

I will wash them when they look dirty. So far, never.

To some extent it depends how near the road you live. We live on a relatively quiet road but with no front garden. The net curtains soak up the road dust so they genuinely do need washing - ideally more than the once a year I give them. The back window curtains don't get nearly so dirty.

If you lived on a main road then unless you had treble glazing at the front that you never ever opened your curtains would get properly filthy.

Never washed them 30 years old

[wonkylegs]

Never they would shrink/ disintegrate. They are not made from washable fabrics.
They are hoovered every 2 months though.

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

I hope the towels and bedsheets are done more often than annually!

My family live close to a Next seconds shop so when I visit I buy new curtains at a ridiculous price for my French doors (only curtains in the house). Saves any washing and it's good to ring the changes. Btw ridiculous price = less than £25 for 60 x 90s
