HOW TO CARE FOR DRAPES?

REMOVING HOOKS AND SNAILS FROM THE HINGE

It is essential to hang the drapes from all hooks, snails and other non-textile components to avoid tearing the fabric during washing. Depending on the material chosen, take care when removing, especially sharp corners of furniture, rings and, where appropriate, rails.

VLOŽENÍ DO PRACÍHO SÁČKU

The hangers must be folded and placed in a wash bag as protection against snagging, damage and creasing in the washing machine drum. We recommend that you always put one piece of hanger in the bag and put them in the washing machine in small quantities, e.g. 2 pieces.

INSERTION INTO THE WASHING MACHINE

Always wash on the delicate programme at a maximum temperature of 30°C. This will prevent unwanted shrinkage of the fabric. Use mild detergents for the colour of the drape to be washed. Pay attention especially when washing Black-out drapes, always follow the instructions on the textile label.

HOW TO SPIN DRAPES

It is recommended to spin the drapes at max. 300/400 rpm, the ideal condition is that they do not drip water but remain damp. We do not recommend using a tumble dryer under any circumstances, as this will cause the fabric to shrink and wrinkle.

CLEANING DURING WASHING

While washing, you can attend to the other parts of the window. With a wet cloth and detergent, thoroughly wash the pelmets and rods on which the drapess hang. Also pay attention to the rings, studs or sills. Vacuum up any cobwebs with a vacuum cleaner.

HOW TO DRY DRAPES

We recommend that the drapes be left to dry naturally when hung directly on the window. This will prevent creasing and, in the best case, subsequent ironing. Therefore, take the hooks straight out of the washing machine and hang.

HOW TO IRON DRAPES

However, if you still need to iron the drapes, iron on the lowest possible temperature. Always try on a piece first. The most comfortable way to iron drapes is with a standing steam iron directly on the window. Take care especially when ironing dim-out and black-out drapes.
