i have cleaned them with ashbys ninja solvent attachment and they came up great the only problem is if they have the secondary cotton lining then the fabric comes up clean but the lining doesnt look any different even if you do the lining seperately it still doesnt come clean.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Prochem do something called pre-spray gold. It's multipurpose but very good and woolsafe approved. dilutes 32-1 and you simply spray and wipe with terry towels. If a curtain is doublelined it will cost about £80 per curtain for a dry cleaner to do it and it has to be taken down and put back up. Its laborious to do it by hand but is easy money.
