    Most fabric curtains can be maintained by following these steps:

    • Dust or vacuum the curtains regularly.
    • Check the care label for specific washing instructions.
    • Hang curtains to air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using high heat, as it can shrink or damage the fabric.
    • Iron the curtains on a low heat setting, if desired.
    • To prevent fading, keep the curtains out of direct sunlight.
    • Rotate the curtains periodically to distribute wear and tear evenly.
