Super Clothes Whitener

TIP OF THE DAY

Are Your Curtains Begging for a Spa Day?

Give your curtains a fresh, clean look by taking them down for a gentle wash in cold water. Use a mild detergent to avoid damaging the fabric, and be sure to skip the dryer—air drying is key to maintaining their shape and preventing shrinkage.

Hang them back up while still slightly damp to help eliminate wrinkles and keep your curtains looking fresh and fabulous.

PLANTS & GARDEN
