She explained in the clip. The mum confessed she didn't even know how dirty curtains could get until recently. "I've only doe this once in my life, but I'm definitely gonna keep this as my chore twice a year," she said. Haddie decided to put the curtains from her son's room into the washing machine and was stunned by how much dust and dirt came off them. After washing the mum rinsed the curtains with some vinegar to neutralise any bad smells too. "I'm pretty sure the smell of his room just changed drastically , it was the most disgusting water I've ever seen in my washer," she said. Haddie was so impressed by how clean the curtains came out that she decided to clean the rest of them in her home too. Before you throw your curtains straight into the washing machine it's important to check their label, as not all will be suitable for machine washing. In between washes you should also vacuum them to get rid of dust, the pros at Homes & Gardens noted. Founder of New York-based interior design studio Arsight said: "Use a moderate cycle with a light detergent and cold water for machine-washable curtains. "Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, since they might harm or fade the fabric." A good way to tell if your curtains are over due a good clean if by looking at the hemline, since that will be the first spot to show dirt. You can also steam or iron them once they're dry to avoid creasing, but this isn't a necessary step. 3 When was the last time you washed your curtains? Credit: Getty){kind=link}
