The best way to clean curtains or Roman blinds of any kind is to vacuum them in situ using a clean vacuum attachment. Even so, if you feel they require a deep clean after a few years, just remember that our curtains are dry clean only and this process can shrink the fabrics by up to 3%. If your curtains are lined with either blackout, thermal or interlining - please get in touch with us for a care sheet to take to your dry cleaners, as they'll need to be put through a sensitive treatment.
They must NEVER go into a washing machine.
Ironing
While we do our utmost to deliver our products in the best possible condition, natural fabrics can crush easily so don’t be surprised if your curtains or blinds are slightly creased on arrival. You can either iron them before hanging or hang them up and watch the creases disappear over a couple of weeks. Be careful with steam as it can make the looser weave fabrics sag temporarily. We think hanging them up and letting gravity do the work is easier and safer.
Stretching
Please note that natural fabrics can also give and stretch slightly over time, especially loose weave linens. This should not matter unless the length of your curtains or roman blinds is absolutely critical. Over time, the added length can be up to 1cm or so.
Light Fastness and Fading
Our natural fabrics have varying degrees of light fastness depending on which range they are from. The best way to protect the colour in your curtain is to order a lined or interlined curtain.
