And the winner is..........

........BLEACH!

We had been told by various people that there are several ways to wash the mildew off your curtains: white vinegar, OxyClean, or bleach.  While I would have loved for plain old vinegar to be the hands-down winner, it was not.  Good old-fashioned bleach did the trick.  Mind you, I tried all three in scalding hot water (our hot tap water registers 195*F[!!] with no way to temper it!).

The winner and 2015 champion is BLEACH!

Our mildew wasn't really too bad.  This is a 2" x 2" cluster of the evil stuff.....pretty mild compared to what we've read about!

I only broke one clip.  These buggers are not that easy to maneuver right next to a wall!

Curtains drying in the sunshine -- chilly (upper 50s), but dry and breezy today.  They dried in less than two hours.

Look, Mom, no mildew!  :)
