Cleaning Net Curtains Kim And Aggie

Kim & Aggie: The Net Curtains Whisperers

Ever wondered how Kim and Aggie, those lovable cleaning queens from How Clean is Your House?, tackle those often-forgotten, dusty net curtains? Well, grab a cuppa, let's spill the tea (and maybe some bleach).

First things first: Why net curtains?

Net curtains, you ask? Aren't they just a relic from our grandma's era? Not quite! They're still around, adding a touch of vintage charm to our windows. Plus, they let in light while keeping prying eyes out. But they're a magnet for dust, aren't they?

Enter Kim and Aggie, the dynamic duo who've made a career out of making our homes sparkle. They've got a few tricks up their sleeves for those pesky net curtains.

Prep like a pro

Kim and Aggie would tell you, "Preparation is key, love!" Before you start, gather your weapons: a basin, some washing-up liquid, a soft brush, and a pair of rubber gloves. Oh, and don't forget the bleach. Safety first, though - make sure you've got plenty of ventilation and no pets or kids running around.

Soak, don't scrub

Here's where Kim and Aggie might disagree with your usual scrubbing routine. "Soak, don't scrub," they'd say. Fill your basin with warm water, add a capful of bleach (for whites) or a capful of washing-up liquid (for colors), and let your net curtains soak for about 30 minutes.

Why soak? Well, net curtains are delicate, and soaking helps loosen the dirt without damaging the fabric. Plus, it's a great excuse to put your feet up for half an hour, isn't it?

Gently does it

After their little bath, give your net curtains a gentle squeeze, but don't wring them out. Then, rinse them under cold water until the water runs clear. Now, here's where Kim and Aggie might differ: Aggie's a fan of the washing machine, while Kim prefers a good old-fashioned hand wash.

If you're team Aggie, pop them in the machine on a gentle cycle with a bit of fabric softener. If you're team Kim, give them a gentle brush with some clean water, then rinse again.

Dry like a pro

Now, here's where Kim and Aggie are united: never tumble dry your net curtains! The heat can damage them. Instead, hang them up to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight. And while you're at it, give your windows a good clean too - no one likes a streaky window, right?

Quirky fact: The net curtain's origins

Did you know net curtains have been around since the 17th century? They started as a way to keep out drafts and insects. And the term 'net curtains'? That's a British thing - in the US, they're called 'sheer curtains'. Who knew, huh?
