How to Straighten Curtains:Proper Ironing

Here is the best way to iron curtains to prevent more wrinkles from happening.

Firstly, hang the curtains on the rod, making sure they are fully unfolded. Iron the top half of the curtains, pressing firmly down and releasing steam/spraying as needed for the fabric. Move the iron gradually to ensure that each crease area is ironed thoroughly.

Now, I'm sharing some methods that you can apply to smoothen your creased curtain panels.

 

How to Straighten Curtains: Steam Ironing

After mounting the curtains and drapes on the rod, fill the fabric steamer with water. Once the water is heated, slowly move the fabric steamer over the curtains. It is best to work from bottom to top. Repeat the process if necessary. If you still see wrinkles, steam from the bottom of the fabric. Do not place the nozzle of the steamer directly on delicate fabrics such as velvet or silk!

 

How to Straighten Curtains: Hanging & Stretching

When you have limited equipment, knowing how to steam curtains without a steamer is essential. And you can do it in a room filled with steam! This is usually done in the bathroom or shower as the space is smaller and easier to fill with steam. Open the hot water tap for 10-15 minutes to fill the room with steam. Or simply take a hot shower while hanging the curtains in the room for a steam-like effect. Once dried, the creases will disappear.

 

How to Straighten Curtains: Wash and Dry Curtains

Washing your curtains is a quick and easy way to remove wrinkles. Check the care label for specific instructions before placing them in the washing machine. Typically polyester, cotton, linen and lightweight fabric materials should be able to be used in the washing machine.
