Great news guys, after following the instructions on the
Curtains and the machine, it came out wonderfully although I found out with my machine if you use The recommended dosage of Coles brand wool wash It foams like crazy While an old bottle of Marthas wool wash Have a little bit of suds but it all came out nicely in the end, and even though the curtains said to drip dry, I put them in extractor to speed up drying time probably by a factor of 10 as the curtains said drip dry so we tried out one panel in the extractor and it came out Wonderfully dry, and they were dry by roughly 5 pm

Great results apparently. What kind of curtains are we talking about?

I’ll grab a photo of the curtains tomorrow morning

Hi, Adam, Bügelfrei will probably do a longer cool down and therefore fewer rinses and probably a rinse hold at the end. A bit of a guess though.
Oh cool, considering wool wash is quite foamy I’m kind of
Glad that I chose the delicate setting over the iron free setting because wool wash is quite foamy, here’s a photo of the curtains and how they came out
