Keep Your Curtains From Getting Stuck Where The Rods Meet With A Genius Solution

There is nothing more frustrating than having difficulty closing your curtains. Whether the rod isn't completely smooth or your rings keep getting stuck where the rods meet, there are a few ways to fix this maddening issue. While it might seem like an inconsequential fix, improving this small setback can make your daily life so much easier. TikTok is full of clever curtain hacks for your bathroom, living space, and beyond. User @fancyfixdecor shared a genius, budget-friendly solution.

Try using peel-and-stick, easy glide tape to close the space between the two rods. Tape a small loop around the area where the adjustable rod collapses for a smooth transition. If you have an angled curtain rod or a rod that curves, you can also add the tape to any bowed areas for easy opening and closing. This tape can also help if you have wood rings that have trouble sliding over a wooden rod. Keep in mind that peel-and-stick curtain tape can also help you maintain evenly spaced curtains, which is an easy hack to make your curtains look luxurious for less.

If you're looking for a reliable peel-and-stick option, try the Curtain Rod Tape by Snnshun. This option comes with two rods and a pair of scissors. You don't have to use this hack exclusively for your living room curtains. It is also an excellent addition to your bathroom curtains, especially if you have a stubborn tension rod.

While it is a simple solution, easy glide tape isn't the only way to fix your sticky curtains. One of the most popular hacks is to rub the curtain rods with wax paper. This smart method of repurposing wax paper is a great trick to try first before purchasing any additional materials. On the opposite side of the spectrum, if you've already tried every hack and you're still having trouble, it might be time to consider track curtains. You won't run into the annoying issue if you opt for curtains that are installed directly to your ceiling with a mounted track, similar to the highly-rated Curtain Track by FELIDESIGN.
