How do I clean these curtains?
These curtains are machine washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Line dry and use a light iron on the reverse side if necessary. Do not tumble dry or bleach.
What material are the curtains made from?
The curtains are made from 100% polyester, and they feature a polycotton lining.
Do the curtains come with tie-backs?
Yes, each pair of curtains includes matching fabric tie-backs for a coordinated look.
Can I use these curtains with both a curtain pole and a track?
Yes, their pencil pleat heading is versatile and can be used with curtain tracks (using hooks) or with curtain poles (using rings and hooks).
How do these curtains help with energy saving?
The fully lined design provides insulation, helping to keep your room warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which can lead to reduced energy consumption from heating and air conditioning.
Troubleshooting
Curtains appear wrinkled after unpacking or washing.
Use a light iron on a cool setting on the reverse side of the curtain. For best results after washing, line dry them smoothly and iron while slightly damp if needed.
Curtains do not hang evenly or pleats look untidy.
Ensure that the curtain hooks are inserted consistently and spaced evenly across the pencil pleat tape. Once hung, gently 'dress' the curtains by hand, pulling the pleats into shape from top to bottom.
The room is not dark enough for my preference, even with curtains closed.
These curtains are designed for light filtering and room darkening, not full blackout. If complete darkness is required, consider pairing them with a separate blackout blind or a dedicated blackout lining underneath.

Setup Instructions
Prepare for Hanging: Before hanging, gently unfold the curtains. If desired, a light iron can be used on a low setting to remove any creases from packaging.
Attach Hooks: Insert curtain hooks (not included) into the woven pockets on the back of the pencil pleat heading tape. Adjust the spacing of the hooks to achieve your desired pleat density and curtain width.
Hang Curtains: Hang the curtains directly onto your curtain track runners or onto curtain rings that are fitted to your curtain pole. Ensure both curtains are hung at an equal height.
