When I had sheer drapes, I waited for a nice windy day to wash them and had somebody to help me. I put them in bathtub with tepid water and mild soap and swished them around. Then I rinsed them very well. I put them in plastic bag and carried them outside. Each person took two corners of the drape and we kind of shook them and let the wind billow through them. When they stopped dripping and were just damp – back inside and rehung. I used to do one curtain at a time. I also didn’t have a gentle/lingerie setting on my washer at the time.
