Troubleshooting

Curtains are not blocking enough light.

Ensure the curtains are properly installed, covering the entire window area. Check for gaps at the sides and bottom. Consider using a blackout blind behind the curtains.

Curtains appear to be damaged after washing.

Follow the washing instructions carefully. Use a gentle cycle and low heat for drying. Avoid overloading the washing machine.

Curtains are too long or too short.

Measure your window before purchasing. Pencil pleat curtains can be adjusted, but significant alterations might require a seamstress.

Hooks are not staying in place.

Ensure the hooks are properly inserted into the curtain tape. Use sturdy hooks that match the weight of the curtains. Make sure the curtain track is secured to the wall or ceiling.
