General washing instructions

You can only iron the washed tulle. If you iron a stale cloth, you will fix all the smells that have absorbed into it, as well as risk all the dirt and dust into stubborn stains.

Therefore, take into account some washing recommendations in order to get rid of dirt most effectively and easily:

• Tulle and curtains should be washed in warm or cool water, without the use of aggressive agents.
• Before washing, it is best to soak. Add soda or salt to a warm soapy solution, soak a cloth in it. This will help to cope with difficult dirt and save the white fabric from a yellow tint. If your curtains have not been erased for a long time, get ready for the fact that the solution will need to be changed several times.
• The main wash is best done in warm water with a detergent suitable for the type of fabric. In no case should you rub the fabric, just gently squeeze it with your hands and rinse.
• To prevent the smell of laundry in your room, carefully rinse the tulle or curtains several times. Do the last rinse in cold water.
• Remember that the tulle must not be squeezed, twisted, stretching.

Important! If you washed in the car, set the mode to no spin or less than 500 revolutions.
