Using these curtains is super easy. Just install them in your living room and enjoy the light - blocking and decorative effects. When it's time to clean, you can either machine - wash or hand - wash them. For hand - washing, remember to use water below 90℉. When removing the curtains for washing, be careful not to hurt yourself. Each set has two panels, so keep that in mind when considering the size. Also, don't be surprised if there's a slight 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.
