Must confess I stuck mine in the washing machine! Didn't even think that they might shrink. They came out fine though. I suppose it depends on the material they are made from. If in any doubt I'd get them dry cleaned. You might find a laundry label tucked up inside the lining as well.

If they are anything like mine, Alan, you grab the little plastic fasteners that keep them in the tracks and .... pull.

If they are the sort of bobble fixing's just turn 90 degrees before you pull - others you have to unscrew the end fixing on the track and just slide them off. We've had both sorts - I'd check before you start pulling them!

I have mildew on my curtains..when I asked the dry cleaner she said it would not come off, and the plastic which is sewed across the top might crack...she did not want to do them...tried milton and salt/lemon...but to no avail.
