Curtains and Valances
On unpacking your curtains or valance there may be some creases or pressure marks. These will normally fall out quickly after hanging in a warm room. Alternatively, the curtains or valance (except velvets) may be lightly ironed with a warm dry iron on the reverse side (hems and sides should not be pressed). Steam or excessive pressure or temperature should be avoided as these can stretch or shrink the fabric.Velvets
Velvet pile is prone to flattening during transit or cleaning which can show as patches of darker and lighter shade. These marks will usually disappear when the curtains have been hung but it may be necessary to assist by careful steaming (with a kettle) and brushing upwards to lift the pile. Velvet should always be dry cleaned and never ironed.Pencil Pleat Tape
The cords on Pencil Pleat tape must be tied at either end before the headings can be gathered.Caring for your curtains
Cleaning
Recommended cleaning instructions for each fabric are shown on the website. Simply select the relevant fabric to see the care instructions. Please note these care instructions relate to the fabric and unlined curtains only. All lined or trimmed products should always be dry cleaned. A care leaflet is included with all curtain orders and a care label is sewn under the curtain heading.Shrinkage
For washable fabrics a shrinkage of up to 5% may occur if washing instructions are followed. To reduce the possibility, washable fabrics should be hand-washed, drip dried and ironed in a lengthways direction before fully dry. Shrinkage in any fabric can be minimised if your curtains are dry cleaned.A guide to hanging and caring for your curtains is enclosed with all orders. We recommend that this is kept for future reference.
