The curtains in a little used room look a bit dirty as they have been
hanging behind the window for around 10 years. They could do with a wash.

Some of the plastic hooks snap when removing the curtain from the metal
track. No problem, spares are available on Ebay for this discontinued
model of track.

Curtain doesn't survive a gentle machine wash - the fibres have probably
been degraded by sunlight and after the wash parts of the material seems
to have the strength of tissue paper.

New curtain purchased.

On attempting to hang the new curtain one of the plastic fixings holding
the metal track to the wall snaps. On further investigation another two
of the fixings are brittle and easily snapped.

Again, spares are available on Ebay.

Curtain now up but the 3rd party spares are just that fraction smaller
than the originals and were a PITA to attach to the rail.

A quick wash of the curtains has probably taken 3 hours and cost the
best part of £70.
