How to Iron Satin Curtains

Satin wrinkles very easily.

Satin is a shiny, soft fabric that can be used to make a pair of attractive, high quality curtains. Over time and continuous use, however, satin curtains can become wrinkled. Since the fabric is quite delicate, using the correct method to iron the curtains is important. The technique is simple and utilizes a protective barrier in the form of a pressing cloth to protect the satin.

Things You'll Need

• Iron
• Ironing board
• Pressing cloth

Instructions

1. Turn your iron on to the warm setting.

2. Lay the satin curtains on an ironing board, with the shiny side facing down.

3. Place a pressing cloth over the curtain. Press the warm iron over the cloth and iron the back side of the curtains using small circular motions. Make sure that the iron doesn't come into direct contact with the satin.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use the steam setting on the iron or spray the satin with a water bottle before or during ironing.
