Mould

Someone told me soaking curtains in nappisan was a big no no. I cant remember the reason for it though.

Not that i have tried this yet, its on my to do list. But making a baking soda paste and putting it on the moldy bits, give it s scrub and soak in the bath, then drip dry on the line in the sun.

For walls id just use Exit Mould or baking soda & vinegar.

We live in a very modern home and before we put a HRV in the only room that got mouldy was the master room and we just recently took them down to a place called Curtain Clinic in Takanini and it cost $25 per drop + GST it is well worth it and our curtains look good as new.

tania - i would just try and fade it as much as possible and hope they don't notice. Vinegar or lemon juice and lie the curtains flat in the sun? Curtains are bloody expensive. I'm guessing it's a landlord situation? Really it is not your fault it is a damp house, there is nothing you can do to prevent some moulding on curtains if the house is damp.

How big is the mould spot (and how big are the curtains). I have some curtains i've just taken down in our house if you need some! They are in great nick but we have just done up Alex's bedroom.

Geeez Tania!!! Im glad I didnt end up renting that house! We looked at it a few years back!

Mould is VERY hard to get off curtains, once its been there a while(and sounds like it has) it sticks like Sh*t to a blanket. I would try that curtain place in takanini and if that didnt work, then eeeek, new ones?
