Removing Shine from Polyester Curtains?

I found some polyester curtain panels at Target. They are the perfect color, but they have more of a shine than I like. Is there any way to gently remove the shine? I would like the fabric to have more of a flat finish as opposed to the gloss. A friend mentioned that even some raw silks have a sheen to them to make me like them better now that they are hung. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Is the finish less shiny on the reverse side of the curtains? If so, could you unstitch and restitch the hems? 2. Spraying fabrics with vinegar and water can dull shine for a while. Try spraying a panel with 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water (1/4 cup vinegar and 3/4 cup water). Let dry, and if it looks like what you want, do all the panels. Repeat as needed. Hope this helps.

To remove the shine from washable fabrics try use of pumice either powder or stones, it is not for thin delicate fabrics and it may need a few washes. Also use dish soap to wash either with laudry soap or just the dish soap.
