Washing curtains and net curtains in Stuttgart-West

Long curtains and heavy drapes are best washed at Laundromat Stuttgart-West in the XXL washing machine with 18 kg for €13.50. They have room there, crease less and get evenly clean.

Preparing

Remove hooks, rollers and lead weights, or put them in a laundry bag.
Shake out the dust well beforehand.
Check the label: many net curtains need 30 or 40 degrees and a gentle programme.

Washing

Fill the big machine only halfway so the fabric can move. Use delicates detergent and not too much of it, otherwise streaks remain.

Dry or hang up?

Thin net curtains are best hung up again while still slightly damp, so they smooth out. Thick curtains and blackout curtains often tolerate a few minutes in the dryer on a low setting. Better to book a short time and add more.

What else fits in the big machine

Upholstery covers, tablecloths, sofa cushion covers and flexible rugs. Rigid rugs with a firm backing stay out, as they can damage the machine. Washing rugs
