Default Cleaning Chintz Curtains?
The curtains are lined and have a white background on the print, so are
harder to wash. But I'm desperate. Does anyone know how I can clean them
or restore the finish?

Have you tried using a hose attachment with your vacuum cleaner? I do that
with dust buildup.

Is the fabric "glazed chintz"? What exactly to do you mean by "restore the
finish"? Have they been prevously laundered?

Regular vacuuming is the best way to maintain and prevent deeper soil.
Glazed chintz *cannot* be laundered without drastically reducing or
altogether removing the glazed finish. Professional dry cleaning will affect
the finish the least.

You might consider tumbling the curtains in a cool dryer with a few tennis
balls and a couple of dryer sheets. This would certainly help remove dush
and freshen them.
