Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Measure Your Window: Ensure you have the correct width and drop for your window and desired curtain fullness. The 117cm width x 137cm drop refers to each panel.
- Choose a Rod: Select a sturdy curtain rod that is wider than your window frame and can support the weight of heavy curtains. The rod diameter should be compatible with the eyelet rings.
- Install Rod: Mount the curtain rod securely above your window, following the rod manufacturer's instructions.
- Hang Curtains: Simply thread the eyelet rings of each curtain panel onto the curtain rod.
- Adjust: Arrange the folds evenly for a neat, tailored look.
Compatibility
These eyelet curtains are designed to be compatible with standard curtain rods. Ensure your rod's diameter fits comfortably through the eyelets for smooth operation. The heavy fabric is best supported by robust metal or thick wooden rods rather than flimsy extendable ones.
Care
To maintain the luxurious look and feel of your chenille velvet curtains:
- Cleaning: Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label on your curtains for precise washing instructions. Generally, chenille velvet may require professional dry cleaning or a very gentle, cold machine wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry, away from direct sunlight, to prevent shrinking or damage to the pile.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting on the reverse side, using a pressing cloth to protect the velvet pile. Avoid direct heat on the velvet.
- Maintenance: Regularly dust or gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to keep them free from dust buildup.
