To use your curtain, simply install it on your curtain rod and enjoy the blackout and decorative effects in your living room. When it's time to clean, you can either machine - wash or hand - wash it. Just make sure to take the curtains off the rod carefully so you don't hurt yourself. If you're hand - washing, use water below 90°F. Each set comes with two panels. If the size is given as 118 inches wide by 106 inches long, remember that 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 actual curtain because of monitor settings. With proper care, this curtain will last you a long time and keep looking great in your room.
