Improve the longevity of your curtains with the right kinds of care
Caring for your curtains is essential to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
Here’s a brief guide on how to care for your curtains:
REGULAR DUSTING
Dust your curtains regularly to prevent the buildup of dirt and allergens. Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner or a lint roller to gently remove dust. Start from the top and work your way down.
Machine Wash or Dry Clean
Check the care instructions on the curtain label to determine whether they are machine washable or if they require dry cleaning. If machine washable, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. For delicate or lined curtains, dry cleaning may be the preferred option.
Hand Washing
For delicate fabrics or those with special embellishments, consider hand washing. Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Gently agitate the water and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry.
Remove Hooks and Hardware
Before washing or cleaning, remove any hooks or hardware from your curtains. This prevents damage to both the curtains and your washing machine or dryer.
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colours to fade. Consider rotating or rearranging your curtains periodically to ensure even sunlight exposure. Using sheer or UV-protective curtains can also help mitigate the effects of sunlight.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Periodically check your curtains for loose threads, loose hems, or any other signs of wear and tear. Attend to any minor repairs promptly to prevent further damage.
