Hot Water Soaking Method
Boil a pot of water: Although you want the water ocean hot, avoid overheating it to a level that would destroy the curtain but have a proper heat to be able to easily loosen the PVC material.
Soak curtain: Put the curved section of the PVC curtain into hot water for several minutes till the material softens and is easily moldable.
Air dry: Once you've removed the curtain from the hot water, hang it instantly on the even and stable surface like a wall or clothes drying rack. Let it air dry naturally and avoid external forces during the drying process.
2
Hair Dryer Heating Method
Prepare tools: You will need a hair dryer and a clean towel.
Wrap the curtain: Gently wrap the bent part of the PVC curtain with a towel to prevent direct airflow from the hair dryer, which could damage the material.
Heat shaping: Aim the hair dryer at the bent part of the curtain and blow hot air for a few minutes until the material becomes soft. Meanwhile, gently straighten the curtain by hand to help it regain its shape.
Cooling shaping: Before the curtain cools down, maintain its shape to prevent it from bending again.
3
Flattening with Heavy Objects
Prepare heavy objects: Choose objects of appropriate weight, such as books, stones, or other flat heavy items.
Hang the curtain: Hang the curtain on a flat surface, ensuring the curved part is suspended.
Place heavy objects: Place heavy objects on the curved part of the curtain and let it flatten naturally. Depending on the degree of bending, you may need to wait for several hours or longer.
Remove heavy objects: After the curtain has completely regained its shape, gently remove the heavy objects.

Precautions
Do not overheat: Using hot water or a hair dryer, pay attention to the temperature and time control, do not let the curtains overheat damage.
Keep it flat: Do not load the curtains while they are drying or cooling, they must be flat and free of external forces.
Routine Inspection: Regularly checking the shape and condition of your PVC curtains can effectively prolong the service life of the curtains, so the question of not straightening it must be solved in time.
