How To Spruce Up Your Curtains

How To Spruce Up Your Curtains

Spruce Up Your Curtains. Follow this simple video to instantly make your room look better- do it the Videojug way! The curtains can make or break a room; so impress your friends and family by spending time sprucing up your curtains.


Step 1:

You will need

  • A vacuum cleaner and a little time

Step 2:

Close the curtains

Pull the curtains out so the fabric is stretched as wide as possible. Turn the vacuum on and place the wide attachment at the top edge of the curtain. Slowly and carefully move it down towards the floor. Then repeat a little further along. Keep going until you have vacuumed the entire curtain range. This removes and dust and freshens the fabric.

Step 3:

Pleat

Work on each curtain individually. Gather the fabric together at the top. Arrange the material into even pleats then run your hands down the length of the curtain, continuing the pleat pattern. The curtain will now hang straight and look uniformed.

Repeat on the second curtain. Gather at the top, form the pleats and smooth your hands down the fabric, keeping the pleats extending from the top to bottom.

Continue until you have straighten every curtains.

    I would recommend taking a thin peice of cloth, like muslin, and stretching it across the base of the vacumn cleaner and secure it using elastic bands. This is for two reasons. Firstly, if like me, you have dogs who track mud etc over your floor the base of your vacumn cleaner is not going to be spotless, and, particularly with light curtains like the ones shown in the clip, you are possibly going to be leaving streaks, instead of removing them. Just wash the muslin when you are done and reuse it next time. Secondly, a lot of vacumns, mine included, have a much harder suck that hers seems to, and this reduces the suck, stopping the fabric being pulled into the nozzle, and preventing any accidental tearing. Also, if like me you have dogs with long hair that seem to shed constantly and adheres to curtains as they brush past it, you can get hoover attachments that have a velcro like pad which scoops up the hair very efficently.
