I used to think curtains were one of those things you just… didn't clean. Like, ever. Until one day I yanked them open and a cloud of dust practically slapped me in the face. Turns out, curtains are like massive air filters — they collect dust, pet hair, pollen, and whatever else is floating around. So if yours are looking a bit dull or making you sneeze, they're probably overdue for a wash. It doesn’t have to be a massive ordeal, I promise. Just a few simple steps (and a little help from the pros if you need it).
