Care is simple: Just wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaner, apply a dust cloth or use the brush attachment of a vacuum. Do not wash, tumble dry, dry clean, bleach or iron.
Measure things out before throwing (blackout) shade at the sun
Give yourself at least an additional 5¾" on each side of the window to allow blackout shades to cover the window properly and open completely. Your measurements should go from the top of the window frame to where you want your cordless blackout shades to stop. It’s good practice to add 5¾" after measuring out length. Using a curtain or rack rail? You’ll want to mount it 5¾" above the window frame.
