What is the difference between room darkening and block out?

You will notice that some of our fabrics state that they are blockout and these will prevent any light from entering the room. Whereas, room darkening fabrics, such as the beautiful options featured in this collection, will block out the majority of the light, approximately 90-95%.The one that you choose is a matter of personal preference, and we have both types available at Spotlight.

How should I wash my room darkening fabrics?

Well, that depends on which of our fabric linings you have chosen, and we always recommend that you read the manufacturer's care instructions carefully before you begin. When you are hand washing your new curtains, you need to be gently, and not wring or twist the curtains at any time. Ensure that they are thoroughly rinsed before you hang to dry, most of our curtain fabrics cannot be tumble dried. Do not fold your curtains over the line or anywhere else when you are drying them, instead hang directly at the window to maintain those perfect pleats. Finally, always avoid the use of any harsh chemicals and abrasive solutions, including chlorine and bleach.
