Tea-Stained Lace Curtains

lace curtains
5-gallon bucket
50 individual tea bags (black tea works best)
curtain hanger or yardstick

Steps:

1. Treat stains with a remover, and then wash the curtains gently with a little detergent. It's very important the curtains are clean; otherwise the tannins from the tea won't soak in.
2. Fill a bucket with 50 percent hot water and 50 percent boiling water. Put the tea bags in and mix them around until the water is dark.
