area)? I have a thick wooden curtain rod with pinch pleated curtains that are hung up by wood curtain rings. The rights side of the curtain's will not glide easy at all. I have tried putting soap on the bar, candy wax. Nothing works I just bought the curtains a year ago for a lot of money so I would really like to keep them for a while and would prefer not to replace the rod if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
