    its the size of each curtain (but you have to allow for any pleats/gathers in the curtain - the total width of both curtains should be two to two and a half times the width of the track or pole.)

    Candle wax on carpet. Try scraping as much as you can with a blunt (ie piece of card) item. Then use a warm iron and a paper bag to press the spot, the wax should adhere to the paper.
