How to Clean Silk Curtains

Run lukewarm water into a bathtub or into large tub. Add a small amount of very mild soap such as Woolite.

Wash the curtains very gently. Put a little extra soap on stained areas.

Rinse the soap out of the curtains well.

Fill the tub again with lukewarm water and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water. Let the curtains set for just a second and rinse again.

Roll up the wet curtains loosely in fluffy towels or in absorbent cloth to soak up most of the water.

Drape your curtains outside on a clothesline and let them dry in the shade.

Iron the curtains while they are a bit damp. Iron them on the inside of the garment only. If the curtains are already dry, dampen them a bit with a damp cloth on the outside of the fabric before ironing.
