Answer 1:
Yes, Ammonia will kill mildew on blinds or
curtains , BUT, Ammonia is very toxic,
volatile, very damaging to your eyes, respiratory
tract and skin. Ammonia can cause burns or rashes
on skin. If ammonia is mixed with chlorine/bleach
containing products it can produce deadly
chloramine gas. So, it would be wiser not to use
Ammonia!! Many household cleaners contain ammonia.
To clean curtains/blinds, one can brush the mildew
spores off with a hard brush, then rub with
bicarbonate soda OR vinegar OR hot water OR with a
cut lemon dipped in salt before washing with SOAP.
Hope that helps you. The best way is not to
get mildew at all. Good air circulation and
keeping the humidity low is a good way to prevent
it. Click Here to return to the search form.
