Does anyone have a answer to removing black dots from the lining of our front curtains, just noticed it, not lots of it but how would we prevent it in the future ?

Thanks

Steamer worked for me on this a year to two ago.  Removes almost anything, though it is not garunteed that you wont damage the item being cleaned with one of these, so you need to be carefull what you use them on.

Will probably be ok on Curtains though.

We had this years ago and to prevent it on our new vans we run a dehumidifier for a few hours after we return home from trip where the humidity was high.Despite many peoples thoughts that dehumidifiers are a waste of space using them for this specific task of reducing moisture in the soft fabrics, we know is very worthwhile. Never been troubled since.
