Soft Fold Fabrics:

There is a note on all designs that are shipped "soft-folded" rather than on a tube.  These particular styles require special care and handling due to potential for leaving a permanent crease when double.  In order to prevent creases from setting in on the folded side of fabric, these are stored in their full width of 118".  Orders of 25 yards or less are folded by hand, wrapped in paper, and shipped full width 118" via a Freight Carrier.  

You may request fabric be rolled on 60" tubes, however you cannot return this fabric if the crease on the folded end is not removed.  Additional preparation time is also needed.

These fabrics have the same unmatched guarantee as all our other designs.  The extra care given in storing and shipping these designs ensures that you receive on the best quality.

Washing and Steaming Polyester Draperies:

DO: 

Machine wash polyester fabric . . .
    Use your automatic washer with cold water and regular laundry detergent.  When the spin cycle ends, lift the curtains, a panel at a time, and reinstall them on their rods.  While they are still wet, gently finger-press any pleats.  The yarns actually have "memory" so they will retain the soft folds from your dressing after the curtains are dry.

Steam polyester fabric or curtains . . .
While the polyester fabric or curtains are hanging, you should use a professional plastic-head fabric steamer, such as Jiffy, to remove any wrinkles that may exit.

NEVER press polyester with an iron . . .
Even using a steam iron will cause permanent wrinkles in polyester fabrics, even if the fabric resembles cotton.

CARING . . .
Caring properly for polyester draperies is so simple, it's actually hard for many people to believe. Part of the difficulty comes from the fact that fabrics made of this amazing fiber, polyester, can look and feel like other fabrics, making their care very confusing. Machine laundering is the only answer. You may be amazed to see how beautiful these draperies look after they are laundered. They're actually fresher-looking and softer than before. That's because this high quality polyester is engineered to be washed. Customers who understand polyester, as the fiber of this century and the next, appreciate its many unique benefits. It not only permits easier care, it demands it. BAN those irons!

DON'T:

Machine-dry polyester fabrics . . .
    When heat and heated metal touch polyester, wrinkles form that are absolutely permanent.

Press polyester with an iron . . .
    Even using a steam iron will cause permanent wrinkles for the same reasons.

Treat polyester fabric like cotton . . .
    Cottons have to be ironed with pressure and high heat.  So do Irish linens.
