It's that easy
ADO offers you quality fabrics that you can enjoy for a long time. Already during production, we make sure that our products are as easy to care for as possible. Easy care for us means that our fabrics are washable and easy to handle, shrink less than 2% and are easy to iron.
Beautiful, radiant Draperies and upholstery covers all year round - a blessing not only for allergy sufferers.
The ADO Draperies and Upholstery are particularly easy to care for, as you can machine wash them at 30 °C without any problems.

The numbers in the wash tub correspond to the maximum washing temperatures, which must not be exceeded. The bar below the wash tub calls for a (mechanically) milder treatment (gentle wash cycle). It indicates wash cycles that are suitable for easy-care and mechanically sensitive items, for example. The double bar indicates wash cycles with further minimized mechanics, e.g. for wool.

Wash ADO curtains and Draperies
1. preparation
All care instructions for your ADO Drapery can be found on the sewn-in label. You will find an explanation of the care symbols in the laundry card.
Curtain detergents contain so-called anti-foaming agents and may also contain optical brighteners for white curtains.

2. before washing
Only remove your ADO Draperies immediately before washing to avoid creases. Remove all plugs, sliders, rollers and weighting rods or untie the upper part if plastic parts are sewn in. Shake out the dust roughly.
3. off into the machine
Wash your curtain separately and not with other laundry items. Fill the machine only to one third and select a gentle wash program without spinning and drying.
4. hand wash for the very delicate
Soak particularly delicate fabrics in lukewarm water in the bathtub. After 15 minutes, gently swish them around and then squeeze them out. Rinse with plenty of clean water.
5. air dry
Hang up your ADO Drapery damp and arrange the folds. You can remove creases with an iron while the curtain is still damp. But test on an inconspicuous area first!
Fabrics with natural fiber content
Natural fibers are in vogue. Understandable, because they bring a particularly pleasant atmosphere into the rooms. ADO fabrics with a high proportion of natural fibers are also easy to care for and easy to handle. Just note that they tend to shrink. Therefore, it is better to wash natural textiles before processing.
Synthetic materials and microplastics
To ensure that as little microplastic as possible gets into the water when washing synthetic textiles, we recommend a rather short wash cycle at low speed. Special wash bags effectively reduce fiber breakage and retain loosened fibers. This way, you can care for your curtains with a doubly clear conscience.
Allergy sufferers breathe a sigh of relief
Regular washing removes pathogens such as pollen or mites, which would otherwise permanently irritate the organism. Regular curtain and upholstery care is an important health measure.
Clean ADO Upholstery
1. suction
Vacuum your Upholstery regularly with the upholstery nozzle of your vacuum cleaner. This will remove house dust, crumbs and other everyday dry dirt. Pay attention to edges and edge reinforcements.
2. mild detergent
Wipe your upholstery every 2 months with a slightly damp cloth. Use a solution of water and a little mild detergent. Wring out the cloth well and rub only with gentle movements over the fabric.
3. drying
Treat with clean water to remove any soap residue. Moderate the moisture. Both the upholstery fabric and the upholstery underneath must be completely dry before you use your furniture again.
