How to choose the right size of your drapes or sheer curtains?

1. curtain width

2. curtain lengths

If selection is Grommet /Rod Pocket/Tab Top/Back Tab,measure from the curtain rod to your chosen spot to find your needed curtain length.
If selection is Pinch Pleat/Plain Top,measure from the ring of track to your desired drop.

This method measures the curtain's effective length for utmost accuracy.

How to choose the correct size of your valance?

• Curtain Header
• If using a curtain rod ( pole ), your curtain header should be chosen to Grommet Top ( Eyelet ) / Rod Pocket / Back Tab / Tab Top.
• If using a curtain track ( rail ) or curtain rod with rings, your curtain header ought to be chosen to Plain / Flat Top or Pinch Pleat.
• Curtain Size
• Please measure your windows or doors by a metal tape and make sure that your panel sizes are correct
• How to choose the right size of your drapes or sheer curtains?
• Color Difference
• Please use different monitors ( mobile, pad, laptop, pc ) to view and check the photos online carefully.
• There might be slight color difference, which results from different monitors, lights when taking pictures, lights when hanging in different places, different batches, etc., and even different buyers have different color senses.
• Pattern Gap
• If you have "same" existing curtains, please let us know the specific pattern gap data of your current drapes ahead.
• Different suppliers in different time may have different ways of design products
• All patterns are fixed and cannot be zoomed out in our curtain store.
• Most of our products have been taken photos by 96"L.
• There may be pattern difference from online photos and some part has to be cut off if your curtain length is less than 96"L.
• Please enter the retention detais in 【special instructions for seller】 on cart page to let us know you'd like how to keep the pattern.
• Size Deviation
• Please allow slight deviation 【0.5 ~ 1 inch (1 ~ 3 cm)】 due to manual measurement, hemming, seam.
• We always try our best to provide you the accurate size, but please tolerate size within +/- 1%  ( which is treated as industry acceptable ).
• For 108 inch curtains with obvious vertical patterns, 108" long is not sure able to be made due to the limit of fabric length and hemming, seam. But we'll try our best to make them 106"-108"(the maximum length that the fabric can be made).
• Match Difference
• It is strongly recommended that the curtains of the same window or the same room be ordered and made together.
• Because of the continuous improvement of the craft, the quality of the products will be kept to be improved, and the fabric will be upgraded indefinitely.
• If multiple orders were placed separately, fabric differences may occur due to different batches, and the EXACT match CANNOT be guaranteed and promised.

Product Features

1. Despite great care taken during production, an exact colour consistency cannot always be guaranteed. The color of the actual product may vary slightly caused by lighting effects and monitor's brightness/contrast settings etc.
2. Fluctuations of 1 – 3 % in repeat due to handmade and fabric width or length are customary and will not be recognized as cause for complaint.
3. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1 – 3 %.

Usual variations in structure and equipment of the delivered goods may apply, unless these are justified by materials or by the manufacturing process. Shrinkages in a typical material scope do not justify a complaint. Because of changes in temperature and humidity, fabrics absorb moisture and this can result in stretching or shrinking. It is reasonable to expect as much as a 1 – 3% change in any curtain length or width. For some washable fabrics the shrinkage of up to 5% may also occur if washing instructions are followed

Tips: To reduce the possibility of shrinkage, washable fabrics should be hand-washed, drip dried and ironed in a lengthways direction before fully dry. Shrinkage in any fabric can be minimized if your curtains are dry-cleaned.

Note: We recommend the use of a light duty detergent without optical brighteners for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. A care label is sewn for every length. A care leaflet for your curtains is included with all orders. We recommend that this is kept for your future reference.

Different fabric types have different characteristics. 100% polyester fabrics have a tendency to “flare” out at the bottom. Silk by nature is a very delicate fabric and the texture of 100% silk is achieved by hand spun yarns which means that colour and texture variations can differ between two rolls. It is accepted that 100% silk cannot be guaranteed against fading from sunlight and therefore it is highly recommended lining be used.

Drapery fabrics containing cotton, rayon or viscose may crease more easily than their polyester counterparts but is in no way considered a flaw.

How To Clean Curtains

What are they made of?

Since cleaning methods vary based on your curtain material, it’s essential to identify your curtain material before proceeding. If you are unsure, stick to the maintenance cleaning instructions (described at the bottom of this post) to avoid permanent damage.

Garment Fabric Curtains

1. Remove all hardware.
2. Shake outdoors if possible.
3. Wash two panels at a time on the delicate cycle using the cold setting.
4. Dry on a low-heat setting.
5. Immediately remove from the dryer to prevent wrinkles and rehang.

Sheer Fabric or Lace Curtains

The lightweight fabric of these curtains makes them prone to wrinkling and snagging when they’re wet. For that reason, it’s best to hand wash them in a sink filled with cold water and one teaspoon liquid dish detergent.

1. Shake outdoors to dislodge dust and pet hair.
2. Wash one panel at a time by submerging it in the soapy water for 10 minutes then swirling to loosen debris.
3. Drain, refill the sink with cold water and swirl the panel again to remove soap residue.

TIP: To restore a crisp feel to sheer or lace curtains, dissolve 1 cup of Epsom salt in a sink full of cold water. Submerge freshly-washed curtains for 10 minutes. Drain, gently press out any water but do not rinse. Let the curtains drip dry from your shower rod or laundry line and hang them.

Velvet Curtains

Some velvet curtains are machine washable while others require dry cleaning. Check the manufacturer’s label to find out which yours are.

1. In general, lined velvet curtains should be treated as Dry Clean Only.
2. Unlined velvet curtains require testing for colorfastness by dabbing a hidden area with a damp white washcloth. If the dye transfers to the cloth, take them to the dry cleaner. If the fabric is colorfast, wash them one panel at a time on the delicate cycle using cold water and half the usual amount of detergent.
3. Freshly washed velvet curtains should be laid flat on a cotton sheet to dry, and never placed in the dryer.

Dry Clean Only Curtains

Formal or lined curtains may have a label saying they should be Dry Cleaned Only. If they’re expensive or you’re concerned about ruining them, by all means, take them to a trusted dry cleaner!

If they’re old and you’ve been thinking about replacing them because they’re so dingy looking, you can try washing them to see if there’s any improvement but know that washing may ruin them, so you’re assuming the risk.

1. If you decide to wash Dry Clean Only curtains, do one panel at a time in the machine on the gentle cycle using cold water.
2. Remove them from the machine immediately to keep the lining from wrinkling and then hang them on a laundry line or lay them flat to dry.
3. Do NOT dry them in the dryer or the liner will most likely shrink.

Maintenance

Keep your curtains in good shape between washings with the following steps.

Weekly: Before cleaning a room, give the curtains a good shake to dislodge dust. Wait 10 minutes for the dust to settle before dusting furniture and vacuuming the floor.

Monthly: Once a month use the dust brush attachment on your vacuum to clean curtains from top to bottom, paying extra attention to the top 5 inches where the majority of dust accumulates. Do NOT use the upholstery attachment since its teeth may snag the fabric and destroy your curtains.

Monthly alternative: If vacuuming isn’t an option, you can also remove dust from curtains by running them through the dryer on a “no heat” (or fluff) setting for 5 minutes. Remove promptly and rehang to prevent wrinkles.
