Mould on curtains, how do you get rid of it?

[Carey]

Looking at the net curtains and fabric curtains in our house, I notice black mould at the bottom........we keep the house aired as much as possible but it is pretty damp here in the Waikato. How do you get rid of the mould? Vanish doesn't work, nor does a machine wash. Would dry cleaning work? Or has anyone found a product for sale that works.....a lot promise to but I am very sceptical!

Vinegar will kill the mould, but about the only way to get the stain out is bleach and sun.

For the future, is it possible to reposition slightly the nets and curtains so they don't touch the windows/walls/windowsill?

I bought some product called Curtain Magic. It was a large container that I then put into smaller sprayers. I needed to soak the curtains but it did work, just make sure I keep the house well aired. This is hard in winter thoughts that makes the house really cold!
