Machine-wash curtains only when the care label or product page specifically allows it.

Use cold water, a gentle cycle, and mild detergent. Avoid bleach unless the product instructions clearly state that it is safe.

Do not overload the washing machine, as this can cause excessive wrinkling and place unnecessary stress on the fabric.

Blackout curtains may contain a coated, bonded, or multi-layer construction.

Avoid high heat, bleach, harsh detergent, aggressive scrubbing, twisting, and prolonged soaking unless specifically allowed by the care label.

For small marks, gently spot clean the affected area before considering a full wash.

Handle velvet curtains gently to protect the pile and surface texture.

Do not aggressively rub, twist, or wring the fabric. For regular dust removal, use a soft brush or a clean low-suction upholstery attachment.

Follow the product-specific label before washing, steaming, ironing, or dry cleaning.

Use gentle cleaning methods to help preserve the fabric texture, printed pattern, and color.

When machine washing is permitted, use cold water, mild detergent, and a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors and avoid bleach or excessive heat.

For small marks, use a clean white cloth with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent.

Blot gently instead of rubbing, and test the cleaning method on a hidden area first.

Do not saturate coated blackout fabric or use strong stain removers without checking the care instructions.

Check the care label before ironing or steaming.

Use the lowest suitable temperature and work from the reverse side when appropriate. A clean cloth can be placed between the iron and delicate or printed fabric.

Keep direct heat away from coated blackout layers, grommets, hooks, plastic parts, and decorative finishes.
