What to do if wrinkles appear on the blackout roller blind fabric after installation
After installation, wrinkles appear on the blackout roller blind fabric, which not only affects the appearance, but also may reduce the blackout effect. In the face of this problem, different countermeasures can be taken according to the fabric material .
If the blackout roller blind fabric is made of PVC , since it is relatively stiff, you can try to use a hair dryer to heat iron it. Hold the hair dryer 10-15 cm away from the fabric, move it slowly along the direction of the wrinkles, use the hot air to soften the PVC fabric, and gently stretch and smooth the wrinkles with your hands. Pay attention to the temperature during operation to avoid deformation of the fabric caused by excessive temperature .
For blackout roller blinds made of natural fiber fabrics such as cotton, you can remove the entire blind and soak it in warm water for 10-15 minutes to allow the fibers to fully absorb moisture. Then take it out, lay it flat on a clean surface, use a towel to absorb excess moisture, and then let it dry naturally. During the drying process, you can stretch the wrinkled parts appropriately to help them return to flatness .
If the blackout roller blind fabric is coated, it is not recommended to use high temperature or strong pulling because the coating is relatively fragile. You can spray a small amount of water on the folds, and then use a flat cardboard or plastic board to slowly scrape and press from one end of the fold to the other end to gradually eliminate the folds. In addition, reserve the appropriate size during installation to avoid the roller blind being too tight or too loose, which can reduce the chance of folds from the root.
