How to Swap to Non-Toxic curtains:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic curtains:
What to know about curtains
Curtains hang in your living spaces all day, so the materials they are made of and how they are treated matters. Many conventional curtains are made from synthetic fabrics treated with wrinkle-resistant, stain-resistant, or flame-retardant finishes that can release compounds into your indoor air over time.
- Curtains in bedrooms and nurseries deserve the most attention since you spend long hours sleeping near them.
- Heavier drapes and blackout curtains often have more coatings and backings than simple woven panels.
Check the curtains you already have
Look at the care labels and product tags on your current curtains to understand what they are made of. Labels will usually list the fabric content and may mention finishes or treatments applied to the material.
- Look for terms like "wrinkle-free," "stain-resistant," or "flame-retardant" on the label or original product listing — these indicate chemical treatments.
- Start by checking curtains in the rooms where you spend the most time, especially bedrooms and children's rooms.
Reduce exposure from your current curtains
If you are not ready to replace your curtains right away, a few simple steps can help lower what they release into your air. This is especially worth doing with newer curtains that still have a strong "new fabric" smell.
- Wash new curtains before hanging them — a full wash cycle can remove residual finishing chemicals from the fabric.
- Open windows regularly to ventilate rooms with synthetic or treated curtains, especially in the first few weeks after purchase.
Choose cleaner replacements
When it is time for new curtains, look for simple, untreated natural fabrics. Curtains made from organic cotton, linen, or hemp without added finishes are a cleaner choice for your home.
- Avoid curtains marketed as wrinkle-free, stain-resistant, or with PVC-based blackout backings — look for naturally textured fabrics instead.
