- Do these curtains really block light?
- They are sold as blackout and block most light, but a rod pocket leaves gaps at the top and sides. For a dark bedroom, pair them with a wrap-around rod or a valance.
- How wide a window does one pack cover?
- Each pack has two panels about 39 inches wide. For a gathered look, plan on roughly one and a half to two times the window width, so one pack suits a small window and wider windows need two.
- What rod do they need?
- They hang from a rod pocket, so any standard curtain rod up to about 1.5 inches in diameter works. No rings or hooks are required.
- How do I clean them?
- The polyester-cotton blend and pressed pleats do best with dry cleaning or a gentle cold wash and line dry. Avoid a hot dryer, which can set wrinkles and shrink the blend.
- Do the pleats stay in place?
- The pleats are sewn in, so they hold their shape through normal hanging and light cleaning. Heavy machine washing can soften them over time.
- Where is the Ricardo Trading Grasscloth Pinch Pleat cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $119.00, as of our latest check.
