Those who fight mold are not easy. It often occurs on the walls around the windows and unfortunately it can quickly spread to cloth blinds, curtains and curtains. What about it?
Especially in winter, mold around the windows can get pretty troubled. There is at least one very easy and above all purely ecological way to help. We named it a “citrus solution”.

How to remove mold from curtains
The simplest option is to wash the curtains in the washing machine. But before that, it is necessary to remove the mold that settled on them. And if you want to go naturally, take them a “citrus solution”, so squeeze several lemons and soak the affected areas on the curtains. Then fill it with kitchen salt. Leave for at least half an hour and then wash in the washing machine.
For the sake of completeness, we will add that it is reasonable to test on a small piece of curtains, whether the lemon does not make spots, because some materials can react to the lemon so that the treated area yellows.
Washing in the washing machine has its rules
Always follow the instructions from the etiquette to avoid colliding. If it states that it is necessary to handle, do not really put them in the washing machine, you could irreparably damage them. If the label is missing, probably because you have cut it off after the purchase and before hanging, then do not drink in the washing machine to more than 30 degrees Celsius. Most curtains are now made from polyester, or thirty -stage washing is bearable for them. That would be to mold.
As the curtains whiten our grandmothers
But lemon juice can cope very well with gray curtains. Add to washing juice squeezed from three lemons. The acidity of lemons blends beautifully. That’s what our grandmothers did. To do this, set the squeezing to just 400 rpm.
Useful advice
Put the curtains nicely folded in the washing machine, even better in the washing bag. If you do not, do not hesitate to use a pillow coating, it will surely find in your home. Anyway, do not put them crumpled in the washing machine. Otherwise, you pull them out of the washing machine completely packed and the folds are hard to iron.
Avoid the dryer, allow to dry freely. And iron even slightly damp.
