Mom -
If you wash the curtains, rehang them while they are damp. If they shrink in the dryer, they are difficult to rehang.
I would question the idea of not making the cushion covers washable. They take a lot of wear, and absorb a lot of random dust and grubbiness. Especially if you have any allergies in your crowd, washing the covers and the foam cushions is nice.
My wife has numerous environmental allergies. We just pulled the foam core out of the bed, washed it in the back yard, washed the cover in the washing machine, and re-assembled. (Re-assembly was a bear, by the way.) We do the same for the couch cushions every two or three years. It helps.
