Curtains are very easy to damage while ironing.
Therefore, in this article we will tell you how to iron curtains carefully and safely.
How to properly wash blackout curtains
Blackout curtain fabric will not withstand mechanical stress.
Therefore, you should not rub the curtains too much. It is best to immerse the fabric in warm water with dissolved detergent and leave it to soak for 1-2 hours.
Then rinse gently with plenty of clean water.
A spin mode of up to 400 rpm is allowed, but even without it the fabric dries quickly.
How to iron blackout curtains correctly
The convenience of blackout curtains lies in the fact that they do not require ironing, the material holds its shape perfectly.
However, if it seems to you that creases or wrinkles are visible on the fabric after washing, which is extremely rare, you can iron the curtains.
To do this, use a warm iron at low temperature, as for synthetic products, or carefully steam the curtains.
In addition, it is important to use a press cloth when ironing.
For example, a thin cotton towel or pillowcase. This will help protect the fabric from direct exposure to the hot iron.
To get a good result, you should first moisten the fabric.
When ironing linen or cotton items, you need to press the iron firmly against their surface.
