Cleaning Curtains?
Discussion
Hi
I’ve got 2 bedrooms with lined curtains in. Metal washers in the hems , the usual for 20 years ago. Been hanging up for over 10 years. I reckon they could do with a clean.
One curtain would be too big for my washing machine.
Taking them out and “carpet beating” them would probably be a good start to get dust out.
So what’s my best bet to get them done?
Or, now we live in modern times, are curtains a bit passé now? What could be used instead (that actually keep light out)
Thanks all.

Might do with a bit of a wash after ten years!! 
It depends on the fabric. You can sling some in the washing machine, others are best hand washed or dry cleaned.
We don't have many curtains and we dry clean them each autumn but we don't have any animals so once a year has always struck me as fine.
