Care of Voiles & Net Curtains

Net curtains not only serve as window coverings, but they also allow the right amount of light into a home. Dirt, dust and debris can settle on the net with time and make the curtains look grimy and smell bad. Cleaning net curtains properly helps to keep them in good condition.

Pre-treat your curtains to remove all the dust and dirt before cleaning them. Removing dust and dirt before cleaning your curtains can help you to get them looking as white as possible. A lot of dust and dirt can get trapped in your net curtains over time so it is very important to pre-treat them before washing.

Take down the curtain. Remove the curtain rod from the wall and slip the net curtains off one side of the rod.

Voiles & Net Curtains from Yorkshire Linen

Net curtains are a wonderful – and practical – addition to any living space. The thin and semi-transparent material helps provide privacy whilst still allowing sunlight to stream in and light the room. Net curtains are sometimes known as voile curtains or voile panels, generally describing the sheer net-like material that are commonly used as a window dressing, functioning as a privacy veil during the daytime.

Net curtains can be teamed with a pair of thickly lined curtains that will successfully block out any excess light come night time, whilst the net curtain will act as a complementary addition to the window dressing set. This helps maintain a feeling of privacy in the home during daylight hours whilst still maintaining a light and airy feel to the room. Net curtains are traditionally available in white, the neutrality of the colour making it complementary for all decors and any style and colour of curtain.
