Just whack the lot in the washing machine m8 the chances are they will come out great!

No they wont.
They will shrink, how many times do you walk into someones house and the curtains look like they have had an argument with the floor.
That's because they try to wash them in their machine.

can you not take them down and take them to a dry cleaners?

Hi Dreamclean
Yes you can but you will then need to re hang them and re-attach the pelmets (nightmare!). I have an alltec sahara for these sort of jobs, fill it up with solvent and away I go. Shame its in Biggleswade (a bit far for me) but I am shaw there is someone close to you with a similar set up.
Regards
Tim

A lot of curtains can be cleaned with moderate psi and the cfr upholstery tool as long as you air on the side of caution.
I used to clean all my curtains with ashbys solvent adaption kit but now clean 90% of curtains with water at 135 psi and cfr upholstery tool without any problems.
