Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Measure Your Window: Before hanging, ensure your curtain pole extends beyond the window frame by at least 15-20cm on each side for optimal coverage.
- Hang the Pole: Secure your curtain pole firmly above your window, ensuring it is level.
- Thread the Eyelets: Simply thread the steel eyelets of the curtains onto the curtain pole. Alternate the direction of the first and last eyelet to ensure the curtain ends face towards the wall, creating a neat finish.
- Adjust the Drape: Once hung, gently arrange the fabric folds to achieve an even and pleasing drape.
Compatibility
These eyelet curtains are compatible with most standard curtain poles. Ensure your chosen pole has a diameter that allows the eyelets to slide freely. They are designed for a relaxed, modern look and may not be suitable for track systems or more traditional heading types requiring hooks.
Care
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Fusion Whitworth Stripe curtains:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting on the reverse side to protect the striped pattern and lining. A steam iron can help remove creases effectively.
- Professional Cleaning: For best results and to prolong lifespan, consider professional dry cleaning, especially if unsure about home washing.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh stain removers or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the cotton fabric and lining.
