How to care
The manufacturing technology of jacquard for curtains obviously prevents stretching and shrinkage during washing. But in order for them to last as long as possible, keep their shape well and not fade from exposure to high temperatures, it is advisable to adhere to a few simple rules:
- You can remove dust from the fabric by hand or using a vacuum cleaner, but in both cases use a soft-bristled brush.
- Curtains made from all types of jacquard are washed at low temperatures, hand-wrung, and when hanging, each fold is straightened.
- Select a delicate wash cycle. Detergents should also be gentle and without bleaches.
- Dry such curtains away from heating devices and direct sunlight.
- To avoid leaving a mark on a design woven with silk or synthetic threads, iron them from the reverse side.
