These outdoor curtains are a great addition to your pergolas or gazebos. When using them, make sure to order the right size - you can customize it if needed. It's best to order 2 to 3 times the rod width for a full look. For cleaning, you can spot clean or hand wash the curtains. If there are creases from packaging, use a low - heat iron to straighten them out. Remember, the color on your screen might be a bit different from the actual product because of monitor settings. Also, when cleaning, use water below 90℉ to prevent scalding your hands.
