Tomato sauce+ curtains :) Help!!

[eagle5]

So there was a mishap with the sauce in the slow cooker and my front window curtains after maybe a few Glasses of wine...
so calling on the Hive mind here, what can I do to get the sauce off the curtains or do they need dry cleaning?

You don’t say what they are made out of...

If washable, a good dose of OxyClean with detergent.

Not sure, but I think they are the original... 2013 intl serenity. Can’t find tags anywhere

Dry clean only.

Thanks! Guess I’m taking a trip to the cleaners

My wife has washed ours in the washing machine several times in the 6 years we have had our trailer and they still look like new. Just wash on delicate.

I have washed older AS curtains that were a fiberglass material. Just put them in the bath tub and gently swished them and hung on the hooks to dry..
Still if the manual says dry clean then that's what I would do with these newer curtains

Dry cleaner wouldn’t treat due to plastic tabs. I sprayed with Shout; soaked in Oxy, Biz,& Tide for 24hrs. Rinsed in vinegar. Dried in sun. All stains came out. I’ve also used Cascade in food stains with good results.

Sorry about your mishap. I have washed my cotton fabric curtains a few times---cold water delicate...lay flat to dry ...no problems at all. Twice I have replaced the elastic tape on them because they were saggy. I don't like saggy. Last time someone told me to use twill tape on the top part of the curtain, and elastic on the bottom. That is working well.

Castaway is right. wash on delicate, cold, hang to dry. Will stay looking like new.

I agree - have washed MANY things over the years that said Dry Clean Only - save your money - plus - Oxy Clean gets everything out of everything - no kidding - even got red wine out of my white linen placemats!!! Just wash on gentle and on cool water setting - or even hand wash - but don't put in dryer - just hang up or put on a rack to dry.

Thanks everyone!! I could make new curtains for what the cleaners wanted to clean them.... so I decided to risk it. Oxy clean pre-soak then hand washed in cold water... seems to have done the trick, I didn’t notice any shrinking/ discoloring.... thanks again!!
