Using this window valance is a breeze. First, find a suitable curtain rod for your window. Slip the rod through the rod pocket on the valance, and then hang it up. You can use it in your kitchen, bathroom, basement, or any other room you like. When it comes to cleaning, just toss it in the washing machine according to the care instructions. Remember, the size on the product page is for one piece of the valance. Also, don't be surprised if the color on your screen looks a bit different from the actual product because of monitor variations.
