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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Hot steam does a
  better job at sterilization than anything else,
  and the best part is the steamer not at all
  expensive and is widely available in stores for
  home use.
• Vacuum This is the easiest method to clean the
  curtains as it entails that you can easily clean
  them while they are hanging. It is the best way
