It's Slowly but Surely Getting Dirty

Because I had wonderful weather the other day, I washed my curtains for the first time in a while. My washing machine isn't big enough, though, so I decided to wash them in the bathtub instead.

I ran the bathtub and put the curtains in. After a while, the water turned black. I thought that I had kept them fairly clean and was surprised how dirty they had gotten. There must have been a lot of dirt I couldn't see. I need to wash them more frequently even if they look clean. They became very heavy from all the water they soaked up. Although I gave them a good wringing out, it was still tough work carrying them to the balcony to dry them out.

It might be only my imagination, but after I found that the curtains were that dirty, with the washed curtains the air in my room seems to have become much fresher since I washed my apparently filthy curtains and rehung them. haha
