Few people enjoy ironing curtains after washing them, especially large pieces of fabric. However, with a few simple tricks, you can reduce wrinkles and make them easier to maintain.

Specifically, one of the main causes is a strong spin. During the rapid rotation of the drum, the fabric is compressed, twisted and pressed, which can cause the formation of numerous wrinkles in the curtains.

The amount of laundry in the washing machine also affects wrinkles. If the drum is overloaded, the curtains do not have enough space to move freely. This is especially problematic for large, lightweight curtains.

It is also important how long the curtains are left in the washing machine after the cycle is complete. If the wet fabric remains wrinkled in the drum for hours, the wrinkles can become more pronounced and more difficult to remove later.

One trick is to use plain white vinegar instead of fabric softener, but only if it is suitable for the material the curtains are made of.

About 100 milliliters of vinegar can be poured into the fabric softener compartment so that it reaches the drum during the final rinse. The vinegar can help remove detergent residue and soften the fabric, which can help keep curtains less stiff and wrinkled after washing.

Also, don't overload the drum. If it's a large curtain, it's better to wash it separately than to try to fit several pieces in at once.

Curtains should be removed from the machine as soon as the program is finished. Shake well, smooth out any wrinkles with your hands and, if the material allows, hang them up immediately while they are still damp.

As they dry, their weight can help straighten out some of the wrinkles naturally. This way, ironing can be significantly shorter or in some cases even unnecessary.
