How to clean factory curtains on 2008 23 FB?

Last summer, our off white curtains got some dust and dirt on them. Can I wash factory curtains on a delicate setting in the washer or are they dry cleaning only. Anyone have recommendations on how best to clean them?

Thanks.

Washed in cold water
Lightly dry to damp dry then lay out to finish
Hand press as you lay them out
They come out like new

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I washed them on the delicate cycle warm wash and cold rinse and laid them out to dry on the counter. They turned out great - I should have washed them sooner!

I appreciate all of the advice.
