How to Remove Wrinkles from Curtains without an Iron

This secret trick saves so much time.

Project Steps

I hate ironing curtains. Especially new straight from the package. Somehow the wrinkles and creases seem to be set into the fabric in a way that only extensive ironing will get out. And let's be honest, ironing curtains (especially long ones) is no easy task! I have been known to put new curtains up, straight from the package, to see how they look. And upon deciding I like them, leave them up in hopes that the wrinkles will eventually come out. They never do. So at some point I painstakingly take them down, spend an hour or so ironing them, and pray they never get another wrinkle in them every again! I would be lying if I didn't say this recently happened to me when I bought new curtains for my kitchen. And I really thought they were good to go forever until I decided to repaint my kitchen and needed to take my curtains down the other day. And there they sat, hung over a chair in my kitchen, for several weeks as we finished a kitchen remodeling project. When I went to put them back up, I realized that they really did need a quick refresh. While I didn't have any major creases in them, they didn't look that great from the last two weeks. And ironing is potentially one of my least favorite things to do...ever! So I decided to refresh and de-wrinkle my curtains a different way this time! This saved me so much time! And worked perfectly! So today I am excited to share with you how to remove wrinkles from curtains without an iron!

STEP 2:

There are several attachments for the SteamMachine but for curtains I prefer to use the Squeege and Fabric Steamer attachment. Attach that to the end of the SteamMachine and begin steaming your curtains!
