Curtain Care Tips You Must Try
Curtains aren’t just a mere piece of fabric that is hung
around the home for a little bit of style. They are important textile items
that provide shade, privacy and separate our home from the prying eyes
outsides.
There are different
types of materials and textures to use as curtains or fabric blinds, but the fact still remains is that they require extreme care.
Read on our top curtain care tips.
Sun Protection and Dust Care
Despite what
material you use, sunlight can play a huge role in damaging the curtain or
blind fabrics after prolonged use. Continuously ensure you utilize lined blinds
rather than expand their fabric texture life. Also, just as you regularly dust
your home, trying vacuuming or gently shaking the curtains to keep them free
from saturating dust.
Washing Curtains & Sofa
Washing blinds can be dubious as it relies upon the material,
shading and some other additional embellishments. Always read the fabric label
before putting the curtains in the washing machine. In case you have any doubts,
try taking a small part of the curtain & sofa upholstery using the
machine detergent to see if it damages the fabric, dull the color or shrinks
the cloth. And after proper wash, make sure you air dry the curtains away from
direct sunlight.
Handling Lace and Sheer Curtains
Lace and sheer blinds require additional insurance at
whatever point you plan on washing them. Always tumble dry lace curtain fabrics
to remove them from dust and then similar to sheer curtains, hand-wash the
fabrics to avoid any damage to the delicate fabric.
Maintaining
Pleats
Keeping up well-defined pleats on sofa curtains can be hard, especially after they have
overgrown the new look phase. Make sure you wash them properly as per the
fabric instructions to keep them looking fresh and iron them using the reverse
side. Spritz lightly with water and take care to not rip the stitching as you
carefully iron them. Check for embellishments, trim or sheer texture as they
require additional consideration when squeezing. We know that caring for the
largest piece of fabric in your home can’t be easy, so hopefully, you are now
ready to clean your curtains like a pro!
Maintenance
There are different ways to clean a curtain & Sofa Re upholstery, but maintaining the fabric is not as easy because of the volume of the
drapes if they are large. In this case, window blinds are simpler and can
essentially be brought down as of now collapsed or rolled.
Combat dust
Your curtain's biggest
adversary is everywhere, but still invisible to the naked eye. While dust
build-up might seem like a minor complication, over time this leads to fading
colors, the build-up of irritants and the darkening of curtains. Unless you
send your curtains to the dry-cleaners regularly, this invisible
enemy is sure to have made a home in your curtains. The easiest way to avoid
this is to remember to vacuum your curtains every month. Use a handheld vacuum
with a soft brush attachment for this task as a normal vacuum would be too
powerful. Ensure that your drapes are secured before you begin vacuuming.
