how can i get mould out of roller blind and curtains?

[indiasmum]

we have a really old cottage where the walls are really wonky and upstairs the windows come in at the bottom so the curtains/blind touches it so when we get condensation (all the bloody time!) they get wet and mouldy. its completely vile

how can i clean them? or cant i?
i know what i need to do next is to put curtain poles up instead of track so they dont touch the window. maybe even {shudders} some kind of nets. what do you think?

I have sprayed the back of mine with the mould and mildew remover that you get in sprays (think its detol based). It has worked a treat and never left stains on the lining. Don't know how it would work on roller blinds though. Might be worth a try if there are no other suggestions though.

Ahh, the joys of an old house!

ah, thanks. didnt know you could use it on fabric. did you wipe it after with a wet cloth?
