Advice on caravan curtains wanted please

We had some black mould on our insect blinds, and used Cillitbang? black mould remover,and rinsed off with cold water,  many years ago we had the lined curtains  (dry clean only)on one of caravans washed by,by a laundry (Bourton on the Water) and the owner advised they should not shrink ,and she was right,cool wash said she and no tumble dry

Thank you JVB66, washing the curtain (will do the whole set) will be a "last resort" - cool wash and no tumble dry - got it 

And the lady even dropped the curtains off at the site we were on, as she passed on her way home ,to check (not sure if she had finger crossed  when we put the first one back) 

I once removed mould on our curtain linings by gently and carefully wiping them with diluted Milton and rinsing sparingly with plain water afterwards. It worked a treat.

Bleach type products "kill" the mould but go carefully as the fabric can be weakened. Protect the actual curtains when dabbing anything on to the linings.

I had the same problem a while ago. Nothing i tried would remove the black stain and in the end i replaced the lining on all the curtains for a few pounds.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help, I think I might go down the lemon juice or miltons route, I will have to be very careful as I cannot put anything between the curtains and lining due to the plastic strip and poppers.sown on the bottom.

May be thoughts should be turned to prevention now. Best thing to do is ensure good air circulation around the van and its contents. Then make sure to open the curtains up so not tightly bunched up and keep material from touching the window itself. Open cupboards and move cushions (or remove) to let air circulate in lockers and stop them retaining absorbed moisture. Keep all vents to the outside unobstructed, even fridge covers some argue. They apparently are are for a different purpose, primarily to keep the cooling system warm would you believe, and working efficiently in 'very' cold weather I'm told. I must admit mind I do put mine on if driving fain is forecast.

 

All of what you have quoted we have done and always have done, we also have several moisture traps situated in the caravan, we have owned a caravan for over 20 years now and this is the first time that we have ever had any kind of "problem", it is only one curtain that is affected (all of the curtains are drawn/closed and blinds up when the 'van is not in use, winter & summer.)  We thought that the very wet autumn/winter we are having (the same as everyone else) probably hasn't helped.
