4. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for easy and effective installation of your blackout curtains:
- Step 1: Measure Your Window. Measure the width and height of your window frame. It is recommended to cut the blackout curtain slightly larger than the actual window dimensions (e.g., 1-2 inches on each side) to ensure maximum light blockage.
- Step 2: Customize (Optional). If necessary, trim the blackout curtain to your desired size and shape using scissors. The material is fray-resistant, allowing for clean cuts.
- Step 3: Apply Hook & Loop Fasteners. Attach the soft (loop) side of the fasteners to the edges of the blackout curtain. Then, peel the backing from the rough (hook) side and carefully align it with the corresponding loop side on the curtain.
- Step 4: Install on Window Frame. Clean the window frame surface thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion. With the hook and loop fasteners connected, peel the backing from the rough (hook) side that will attach to the window frame. Carefully position the curtain over the window, pressing firmly along the tape to secure it to the frame.
- Step 5: Secure Edges. Ensure all edges are firmly pressed against the window frame to prevent light leakage.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your blackout curtains, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: The blackout curtain is machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the blackout lining.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting on the fabric side only. Do not iron the blackout lining directly.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the curtain neatly and store it in a dry place. Ensure the hook & loop fasteners are clean before storing to maintain their adhesive quality.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Mcanbaby Linen Blackout Curtains, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Curtain does not stick to the window frame. | Surface is dirty or not smooth; insufficient pressure applied during installation; fasteners are worn. | Clean the window frame thoroughly with a degreaser and ensure it is dry before applying fasteners. Apply firm and even pressure when attaching the fasteners. If fasteners are old, replace them with new ones. For very difficult surfaces, consider using a stronger adhesive or alternative mounting methods (e.g., hot glue as a temporary solution, if surface allows). |
| Light leaks around the edges. | Curtain is not cut large enough; fasteners are not applied close enough to the edges; gaps in adhesion. | Ensure the curtain is cut slightly larger than the window opening (1-2 inches on each side). Reapply fasteners closer to the edges of the curtain and frame. Press firmly along all edges to eliminate gaps. |
| Curtain appears wrinkled. | Improper storage or packaging. | The linen-textured material is designed to be wrinkle-free. If wrinkles occur, gently iron on a low setting on the fabric side, avoiding direct contact with the blackout lining. |
