cleaning muddy curtains?

[KristinH]

Our curtains are covered in tiny mud specks after a very wet and muddy mountain biker stepped through the door .... aargh! Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced but good cleaning company to clean them, preferably at home but I could also take them somewhere.

Any advice/tips most welcome. It won't brush off as the specks were too wet and have soaked into the material and there's too much for me to wash out.

Thanks, Kristin

Have a chat with the dry-cleaner on North Cross Road? I've found him very knowledgable.

Is there a label in the curtain lining? They may be machine washable. In which case, you're probably best to take them to a laundrymat b/c they will wash better in a large machine. Or put them in for a service wash and iron.

thanks - no label, we had them made up but could contact Designer Guild or Fabric Warehouse to ask, good idea. I can imagine the cleaning may cost more than the curtains did end of line fabric!
