Hello, My curtain black-out linings have mould/mildew growth and i am unsure as to the best product to buy or use to get rid of the mould growth. Also, am i able to wash the blackouts in the washing machine? All advice appreciated! :j

    Once you have mould or mildew marks on fabric, you won't be able to get rid them completely. A vinegar solution is probably the best thing to try.

    As long as your blackouts are not thermal lined, they should be ok in the washing machine at a 30-40 degree wash.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
