Title: Flocked curtains
Post by: Paul Redden Countryfresh on October 22, 2007, 08:49:27 pm

Have cleaned these in the past, you know the washable ones with white backing, they seem to mark very easily when drying, what's your experiences?

I would post this on Cleantalk as you will get a few answers on their I'm sure. I don't know this issue as I'm sure many other (more experienced CCs) wont as many don't even touch curtains.

Are you washing in a washing machine or cleaning as they hang?

If washing in the washing machine I would wash and spin then hang them up to let them dry and the creases will drop out. Without seeing them it's hard but can't the reverse be cool ironed?

Shaun, I will be wet cleaning in-situ, have done some rental ones in the past and had to steam them to get rid of marks. the last lot I did I noticed if the hand tool hestated then a pale mark appeared, solution wasn't too soapy either.
