5 Things To Never Do With Curtains

1. 5 Things To Never Do With Curtains

2. Introduction • Curtains are the best way to decorate your home as they are very multi-functional serving both as a protection as well as decoration. It is this multi-purpose usage that makes curtains a must-have in every home. There is the availability of different options of colour and type Curtains Fabric to go with. It can help you give any feel that you wish to incorporate in your home. • Currently, every clothing materials from the Fabric Store comes in with a lot of hanging, laundering, and other care directions but sometimes that is missing on the curtains. Here are a few things that if you are mindful of would ensure that you have a better shelf-life.

3. Do not hang the curtains without ironing the panels • Most of the curtains are packed tight when they are shipped from the factory to the Fabric Store to your home. To expect that the curtain would arrive at your home in an ideal condition is not very practical. When your purchased curtains arrive at your home, it comes in with a lot of creases that you need to do away with before you hang them on your windows. • To ensure that your home looks presentable, you must iron your curtain panels with high heat. Using streams on the creases of your curtains is an excellent idea as it makes your curtains look incredibly sleek and polished for the most prolonged time.

4. 2. Do not use a washing machine • No matter how good a washing machine is, it is best to not put your lightweight curtains into it. Because no matter how cautious you are you would wreck it while doing it. People feel hot water cleans better but that may not be true always. It is somewhat true as hot water does offer better cleaning but shrinks the delicates even if you are vigilant while doing it. • Also, it is not a great idea to not put the red, pinks and other dark colour curtains with the white, grey and light colour curtains to stop the colour transfer. Sometimes hand washing is the way to go on those delicate silks, lace, or chiffon curtains. By hand washing, you would also ensure that the panels do not lose their integrity, at any point, of time.

5. 3. Do not use a Dryer • If you thought that washing machines run down your curtain, then you have no idea how aging a dryer can be. The heat that dryers put on your delicate or heavy curtain panels would not only shrink the materials but also made the colours in them fade away faster. Just drape the curtains over your home banister or use a simple drying rail or line. Let nature take the lead, and everything would be fine.

6. 4. Do not rub-a-dub-dub • Hand wash is the best on the materials that need cold water to avoid all the shrinkage. It is similar for materials that need special care to keep the colour from wearing off. But by rubbing the curtain fabric by your own hands, you would experience unnecessary distress to your Curtains Fabric, as well. • To give your curtains a more efficient clean just squish the various sections together not rub them. Squishing them would ensure that the tension on the curtains is removed and you get the best results without causing any harm.

7. 5. Do not bleach your coloured curtains • Curtains are the best way to splash a pop of colour in your home. But maintaining them is not an easy matter. You may feel that bleach is the way to go for a better clean, but you cannot destroy your curtain faster with a pair of scissors in your hands. By applying bleach, you are not only aging your curtains but also thinning the threads that would make it more prone to wear and tears. • For better results, you can use colour-safe detergents that would work wonders for you. Another quick technique is the use of good quality fabric softener. All you need to do is rub the fabric softener on your lint roller brush and rub it all along the curtain in a very similar manner of a roller lint brush. A bonus is that it would leave behind a pleasant smell lingering on to your curtain. Just avoid bleach at all costs.

8. Solutions These are the things that both you and your curtains can do without. Here is a list of things that you can do to your curtains that would not only make it clean but also retain their youth – • Steam Cleaning – The use of a steamer you can give those beautiful draperies an extensive cleaning at any time of the day.
