These curtains are great for sprucing up your outdoor pergolas and gazebos. First, when hanging them, make sure to order 2 to 3 times the rod width for a nice, full look. If you need a different size, just reach out to us and we'll help you customize. As for cleaning, you can spot clean any stains or give them a gentle hand wash. When ironing, set it to low heat to get rid of those wrinkles from the packaging. And remember, use water below 90°F to avoid burning your hands. Also, don't be surprised if the color on your screen looks a bit different from the real product because of monitor variations.
