How to wash IKEA STENFRÖ sheer curtains: 40°C and low heat

IKEA lists a 40°C normal wash, no bleach and low-temperature tumble drying up to 60°C for its STENFRÖ polyester sheers. These rules are not universal to every curtain.

Curtains that look similar may have different care requirements. IKEA UK lists STENFRÖ (105.949.01) as 100% polyester, while the SILVERLÖNN cotton sheer has a 30°C wash limit and must not be tumble-dried. Always check the exact article number and sewn-in label.

0 / 6 done

1. Identify the exact model and article number, then check the sewn-in label. The following settings apply specifically to IKEA STENFRÖ 105.949.01.
2. Take the curtains down and remove detachable hooks, rings or pins before washing. Check for loose stitching and snags.
3. For STENFRÖ, choose a normal machine-wash program at no more than 40°C. A lower temperature is fine if appropriate; the label is authoritative.
4. Do not bleach or dry clean this STENFRÖ model. Recheck temperatures and drying instructions for any different model.
5. IKEA allows low-temperature tumble drying up to 60°C for STENFRÖ. Avoid overdrying; do not assume a different sheer curtain is dryer-safe.
6. If ironing is needed, stay at or below the STENFRÖ limit of 150°C. Because IKEA notes possible shrinkage, wash before hemming or cutting to length.
