I have the cleanest kitchen curtains I have ever had. [View all]

My kitchen curtains get so grimy and greasy and smoky (yes, I smoke), they were so yellowed and greasy that I did not think I was going to get them clean. I soaked them with dishwashing liquid, then washed them in laundry detergent, and they were still yellowed. I put them in dishwashing liquid again, thinking that since it cuts grease, it would work. It did not.

I was contemplating whether I would have to replace them because they looked so bad, and noticed the bar of soap in the soap dish above the sink. Well, it can't hurt to try that. OMG. It did take some work, since I had to foam up the soap all over each curtain, but it worked a miracle. My curtains are so white and clean, it looks like I just bought them.

So now I have another option whenever I have something that will not clean up with detergents.
