This is beautiful but the fabric is poor quality. Please do not attempt to wash it because it is obvious that it won't be of any use after washing. The tassels seem so poorly put together and the threads are not held tightly.  Although the care instructions indicates it should be washed in cold water and tumble dry on low, I can guarantee that it won't last after washing and the tassels will fall apart. Since I do not intend to spend money on dry cleaning a valance, when it gets dirty, it will be tossed out. For now, I'll just use it for the appearance.
