If the curtains are machine-washable, wash them as directed on the care tag, but add a cup of baking soda and a scoop or two of Oxi Clean. The baking soda will kill the mold and mildew and the Oxi Clean will get rid of any stains from the mold and mildew. Hang to air dry or better yet....iron lightly straight from the dryer. Then hang damp. If the curtains are not machine-washable, take them to a dry cleaner. I'm sure a dry cleaner can remove the mold and mildew, and I'm also sure that they will charge you less than your Landlady would. Good luck.

Hypochlorite solution gradually releases chlorine into water. Hypochlorite anion,ClO-, changes the oxidation-reduction potential of the cell, and resulting in the inactivations of the micro-organism's function. Calcium Hypochlorite quickly forms hypochlorous acid (the killing form of chlorine) in water. It is used in water treatment as a general biocide. Calcium hypochlorite is used by many paper conservationists to bleach archival papers, and it is used as an oxidizing agent to reduce the effects of foxing.
