Me again - want to wash different curtains

[Guest guest]

I found a pair of sheers-- different material, bought them and used them only

one year somewhere between 195 and 1992. Don't know what they are made of--

they are the common white kind that look like see-through silk or nylon. When I

took them down I washed them with liquid Woolite and put them away all these

years.

Think they will fit the window well. I would like to wash them in cold water but

don't know what to use. I presume I should wash them at the laundromat in my

senior MH park instead of my washer. Should I use just a little peroxide and

cold water, or a little 7th Generation dish liquid and cold water. I am scared

to wash anything after what happened with the other sheers and drapes.

Also, if I buy curtains for my spare room curtain-- would cotton-type cafe

curtains be a good choice? And what to wash it with (as in mild soap)?
