Foulola Professional Guide | The "Secrets to Longevity" for 100% Blackout Curtains: A Complete Care & Maintenance Guide
When selecting curtains, 100% blackout functionality has become a top choice for many consumers seeking better sleep and private spaces.
As a curtain factory with 25 years of R&D and manufacturing experience,
we at Foulola know that true 100% blackoutprimarily comes from precise back-coating or multi-layer lamination processes.
However, this crucial "blackout armor" also needs your careful attention.
Improper cleaning can directly damage its functionality. To keep your Foulola blackout curtains performing like new for years,
please follow this professional care and maintenance guide.
The Golden Rule: Everything to Protect the Blackout Layer
Remember, whether it's a physical coating or a composite structure, it fears abrasive friction, vigorous scrubbing,
and chemical corrosion. All our maintenance efforts should focus on protecting this core functional layer.
1、Daily Cleaning: Frequent Dusting Over Washing
1）Regular Dust Removal: We recommend using the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner or a soft feather duster weekly to gently remove surface dust.
Avoid vigorous shaking or beating to prevent damage to the coated fabric.
2）Spot Cleaning: For accidental stains, spot cleaning is the preferred method. Dilute a mild,
pH-neutral detergent in lukewarm water. Dampen a clean, colorfast soft cloth (wring it out well) and gently wipe the soiled area from the outside in.
Strictly avoid strong acidic, alkaline, or bleach-based cleaners.
2、Deep Cleaning: Cautious Hand Washing, Strict Rules
We generally do not recommend full immersion washing for 100% blackout curtains, especially coated ones.
Washing can easily cause the coating to harden, crack, or peel off, leading to permanent and irreversible loss of function.
If you must wash them due to special circumstances, please strictly follow these "ironclad rules":
1）Method: Gently soak and wash the curtains in a large basin or bucket filled with plenty of cool water for no more than 15 minutes.
2）Absolute Don'ts: Machine washing, brushing, scrubbing, and wringing are strictly prohibited!
These aggressive actions will directly destroy the structure of the blackout layer.
3）Drying: Hang the curtains directly to drip-dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
Remember to avoid direct sunlight (UV rays accelerate aging and fading) and tumble drying in a dryer.
3、 Use and Storage: Details Determine Lifespan
1）Open and close your curtains gently in daily use; avoid rough tugging.
2）When storing them long-term, roll them up following their original folds.
Do not fold them tightly, as this can cause the coating or laminated layer at the creases to crack.
A Message from Foulola:
A high-quality blackout curtain is a guardian of peaceful sleep and a reflection of good taste.

However, even the best products require proper care. By following the advice above,
