Using this curtain is a piece of cake. Just install it on your bedroom window and enjoy the enhanced look and blackout effect. When it's time to clean, you can either use a washing machine or wash it by hand. If hand - washing, remember to use water below 90℉ so you don't hurt your hands. When taking it off for washing, be gentle to avoid any injuries. Keep in mind that each set has two panels, and if the size given is 118 inches wide by 106 inches long, each panel is 59 inches wide by 106 inches long. Also, don't be surprised if the color on your screen is a bit different from the real curtain because of monitor settings. With proper care, this curtain will serve you well for a long time.
