The curtains are folded and in the washing machine. I throw a clean towel at them, without it the towel strains, and the curtains don't wash, but they float in the foam. I put the prewash, wash at 40´C, spin as little as possible, and that's not the final one, I'll finish it sooner and hang the wet curtains. : o I like starched curtains, so after the whole cycle, I take out the towel, pour a bucket and half warm water with starch on the curtains into the curtain washing machine, let it seem to wash for a while and then spin it lightly and briefly. I hang the curtains wet again, but they don't drip from them.
