Damask fabrics are very delicate. The materials they are made from are usually silk, cotton, wool, linens and synthetic fibers. Damask made from synthetic fabrics look the same as the those made from other materials. One can immediately observe that the texture is different. No matter what material your Damask is made from, it is the caring for this type of fabric that is more important. When cleaning these fabrics, closely follow the procedures or guidelines that may come with the purchase. Example, do not take damask curtains directly to the cleaners or laundry shop unless you are sure they know how to treat the fabric. If you prefer to do the cleaning by yourself, there are simple tips that you should remember. Damask fabrics which are made of cotton should either be hand-washed or dry-cleaned. When pressing these fabrics, cover them with a press cloth. Do not let put the iron in direct contact with the Damask. Knowing how to take care of Damask fabrics, can make them last longer than they normally do.
