Gail,

        I recently decided to take the chance of laundering the curtains in my
'85 Westy. Mine are only 1 ply, are your basic tan in color, and  do not feel
like their made of cotton, but more like polyester as my winter-dry skin always
grabs and catches on them. I washed them in cold water with a typical liquid
washing detergent and line-dried them. They came away unscathed. I am not sure
but they may have been scotch-guarded, which does not hold up well with washing.
You can always buy spray on scotch-guard or an equivelant at your FLAPS or DAPS
(discount auto parts store) and reapply it. Oh, I also washed the upper bed
upholstry in the same way, and it too turned out OK. Getting this upholstry on
and off is tedious though, so be patient!!!
