Laundering care instructions for each of the fabrics that we offer.
Banjo, Premier, Premier PRO, Economy Non-FR, Elite Poly Commando, and Faux Burlap:
- Never expose fabric to heat above 140°F during any portion of washing, drying, or ironing.
- Excessive heat can shrink the fabric significantly and/or shock the fabric into retaining permanent wrinkles.
- Machine wash like colors only, in cold water using a gentle cycle.
- If detergent is used, add only a mild liquid detergent to the water before putting the fabric in the machine.
- Do not apply a concentrated detergent directly on the fabric, as this may alter the color.
- Never use soap, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- May be dried in a conventional dryer using an air only setting.
- If ironing is needed, use only a cool setting.

Sheer Voile and Poly Satin:
- Machine wash cool on a Delicate / Gentle cycle.
- If needed, use only a gentle detergent, preferably one designed for delicate fabrics.
- Tumble dry on low heat, using a Delicate / Gentle cycle if available.
- If there is not Delicate / Gentle cycle for drying, you can also hang to dry (not in direct sunlight).
- For ironing, use low heat and light steam. It is always suggested to test on an inconspicuous area first.
Commando (cotton):
- Commando drape is NOT machine washable. This fabric should never be washed or spot treated with any liquid or detergent.
- Washing Commando fabric will ruin the nap (fuzzy felt/suede side) and will wash out the topically applied FR treatment.
- Clean lightly using a soft brush only, when needed.
- Professional dry cleaning can be done, however the fabric would need to be retested for flame resistance, and may possibly require retreatment after dry cleaning.
Clear Vinyl:
- Hand wash using a mild soap and water solution (DO NOT use any abrasive soaps or cleaners).
- Dry by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Do not iron.
Flame Retardant Notes To Consider When Laundering:
- Banjo, Sheer Voile, Elite Poly Commando, and all Velours are IFR. These fabrics will retain their FR characteristics no matter how many times they are washed.
- Premier and Premier PRO fabrics are DFR and have been tested to retain its flame retardant characteristics up to 25 washes (for Premier) or 10 washes (for Premier PRO).
- Poly Satin and Faux Burlap are topically treated (FR), and will retain flame retardancy for up to 5 washes.
- Commando (cotton) is topically treated (FR), but should never be washed. Washing Commando will wash out the FR treatment.
- Economy Non-FR drapes are NOT flame retardant.
