eSJayDee Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 There's no instruction tag or anything on it. The inside liner is like (cotton?) pillow case type material. The outside is..., well, curtain material. Do I take this to a dry cleaner? Use/rent a steam cleaner, or just throw it in the wash? IIRC, it was what I would consider moderately pricey (~$200 to cover a sliding glass door). Reason I ask is I got some blood on it (my dog got into a fight w/ a pit bull) & upon closer inspection (I always keep it closed so the room is dark) it's kinda dirty from 12 years of just hanging there, too. Thanks, signed your domestically challenged, middle-aged bachelor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Curtains or drapes  How do you distinguish between the two? This piece of fabric 'drapes' from a traversing rod 'curtaining' off a door/window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Definitely take to a dry cleaner - they'll shrink into nothing if you wash them. Be sure to tell the cleaner it's a blood stain.

CootieHog Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Oh, sure, this is just the kind of jerky jerk idiot jerkweed stuff that people will help with but if I ask one stoopid question for my homework than everyone gets crazy. Your nuthing more than a JACKASS IDIOT for asking this question and if you or you're family ever show up at a game I will teach you a liaison by dumping beer all over you're head and BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU YOU BUNCH OF LOOSERS!!!
