How do I get my blockout curtains to settle into neat folds?

Blockout fabric is heavier than sheer, so it takes longer to soften into folds. Re-dress the curtain and leave the ties or cling wrap on for 36 to 48 hours to train the folds in.

1. 1

   Re-dress the folds

   Run your hands down the curtain and shape it into even, consistent folds from the heading to the hem.

2. 2

   Hold the folds in place

   Tie the folds with the supplied dressing tape, or wrap them in cling wrap if the tape is no longer available.

3. 3

   Leave it to set

   Keep the ties or cling wrap on for 36 to 48 hours so the folds train in and soften.

4. 4

   Release and check

   Remove the ties. The folds should ease into shape. If they still won't settle after this, get in touch and we'll help.
