1. Read the sewn-in label and item number. The 40°C limit here applies to IKEA GINSTMOTT 705.971.76. Linen, coated blackout or custom curtains may require different care.
2. Take down the panels safely. Avoid reaching from an unstable perch; use a secure step stool or ask for help. Remove detachable hooks, clips and rings so they do not damage the fabric or washer.
3. Open the panels and inspect them. Check for tears, loose stitching and stains. Separate new dark-colored curtains from light fabrics if dye transfer is a concern.
4. Use a normal machine-wash cycle at no more than 40°C, as specified for this item. Avoid overcrowding and heavy items that can tangle with the fabric. Do not use bleach.
5. Do not tumble dry. Air-dry fully in a ventilated place where dripping water cannot damage floors. IKEA notes that shrinkage of up to 4% is possible.
6. Check the fully dry fabric before rehanging. If ironing is needed, follow this item's limit of 150°C or below and check the material. Reattach the hooks securely and check length and pleats.
