My girlfriend and experienced garment and quilt maker recommends limiting curtain washing to a long soak with a mild soap such as woolite or quit soap. Use very little action of the washer's agitator - a full normal cycle probably is not necessary. This helps preserve the fabric, which is usually quite old. She can make new curtains for anyone who needs them, if interested.
