Using these curtains is a breeze. Just install them in your living room, and they'll instantly add a decorative touch while blocking out light and dust. When it's time to clean, you can either use a washing machine or wash them by hand. If you choose to hand - wash, make sure the water temperature is below 90℉ to protect your hands. When taking the curtains off for washing, do it gently to avoid hurting yourself. Remember, each set has two panels. If the given size is 118 inches wide by 106 inches long, each panel is 59 inches wide by 106 inches long. Also, don't be surprised if there's a tiny color difference between what you see on the screen and the real curtains because of monitor settings. With proper care, these curtains will serve you well for a long time as they don't pill, fade, or come apart at the seams.
