How do you keep net curtains white?

If you wash your net curtains and then put them away what is the best way to store the to keep them white?How do you keep net curtains white?
Contrary to popular belief, you should never store clothing or bedding or home decorating fabric in plastic. Plastic does not allow the fibers to breath, so your things will discolor or turn yellow and plastic storage bags can inhibit mold growth.



The best way to store your net curtains is: Be sure the curtains are absolutely clean and positively dry. Fold them. Loosely wrap the curtains in acid paper (available at craft stores) Put them in a white cotton pillowcase with the end folded over and store them in a dry place, preferably not an attic where the temps go up high in the summertime. You can use this same storage method for your clothing as well. This method of storage has never failed me.

Not sure about storing them, but if you want to get the whiteness back, soak them in some sterident (or other denture cleaning tablets) and then wash them. It really cleans them well.
With great difficulty nowadays because of the manmade fibres in them.You couldn't beat the old fashioned Nottingham lace ones.
