Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup Instructions
- Measure Your Window: Before purchasing, measure the width of your curtain pole (not the window) and the desired drop from the top of the pole to where you want the curtains to finish.
- Unpack & Prepare: Carefully remove the curtains from their packaging. Lay them flat or gently shake them to help reduce initial creasing.
- Install Curtain Pole: Ensure your chosen curtain pole is securely installed above your window frame at the desired height.
- Thread Eyelets: Begin threading the eyelets onto your curtain pole. For a neat, even pleat effect, alternate the direction of the eyelets, ensuring the first eyelet faces towards the wall.
- Adjust & Dress: Once both curtains are hung, adjust the pleats evenly across the pole. You can 'dress' the curtains by hand-folding the pleats and tying them gently for a few days to help them settle into a consistent drape.
Compatibility
These eyelet curtains are compatible with standard curtain poles. It is important to ensure the pole diameter is smaller than the eyelet's internal diameter for free movement (Info needed: specific eyelet internal diameter). Their versatile grey colour and modern design ensure they complement a wide range of interior styles, particularly modern or minimalist decors.
Care & Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Fusion Whitworth Stripe Eyelet Curtains:
- Regular Dusting: Gently vacuum with a brush attachment or dust the curtains regularly to prevent dust and dirt build-up.
- Spot Cleaning: For small, isolated marks, dab gently with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild detergent. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Washing: Dry clean only. Washing machine cleaning is not recommended for lined curtains as it can distort the lining and main fabric, affecting the drape and appearance.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and pattern.
- Sunlight Exposure: To minimize potential fading over time, consider rotating curtains periodically if one side receives significantly more direct sunlight.
