Using these curtain tie - backs is a breeze. Just wrap them around your curtain and let the magnet do its job to hold the curtain in place. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them down. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the nickel - plated finish of the magnet.

These tie - backs are designed to enhance your curtain's look and add a touch of style to your home, so use them and enjoy the difference they make!
