I hate mildew....spray on semi-weak salty water, (or rinse in salty water) but not too much salt to leach out and cake on. The salt won't let mildew form, this what's helped my shower curtain. :) there are instructions on the net, mine are vague, sorry. Good luck.
I don't think using a dehumidifier with the windows open is going to work, based on what you said. A dehumidifier is only effective if it can lower the percentage of moisture in the air. I would take down the curtains you are trying to clean, and lower the humidity as in this article: https://www.goodairgeeks.com/can-will-dehumidifier-kill-mold-effectively/
There is a material that resists mold and mildew? Sorry. Can you wash the lining maybe with vinegar?
I live in the PNW that is a very rainy climate, maybe you need a larger dehumidifer. I would switch to blinds that would be easier to clean the harder surface like a plantation shutter. https://blinds.homedepot.com/p/home-decorators-collection-diy-composite-wood-shutter/206930502?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CBase%7CD59%7CMulti%7CNA%7CPLA%7CAll_Win_Treat%7c71700000032285656%7c58700003835417435%7c92700030688650739&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqM3VBRCwARIsAKcekb2DsDykwsUFFzij5PuOcfw1OWallcVDJX5GNzVK9pZKAbQLKatWaFoaAoRnEALw_wcB&dclid=CK-FiuCxgdoCFU6AfgodxU4FDg
Also try six oz vinegar with ten drops tea tree oil it worked on dry wall.
Wow! I am in Bellingham WA. USA with the same problem. I have been here for 33 years. It is ALWAYS WET! I am in a ground floor condo with concrete floors. I have 3 huge 97 inch wide windows across 2 walls. Each has 2 small windows under them that open and are always black with mildew/mold. I find that keeping the curtains open so the air temperature in the room reaches the windows, really helps. And I bought two ceiling fans last year that help circulate the warm air downward. But my son keeps closing the curtains at night for privacy and to keep the power bill down. So when I get up around 3AM to go potty, I open them. I just know that it is the curtains causing all the condensation to accumulate on the window and the window sills, because it is like someone poured a glass of water down the windows. But when they are left open there is less. I don't know what to do other than frequently wiping everything down with a rag.
I will try the salt water method of Kendall.
Ah! So sorry I misunderstood somehow. I have seen products in the states for outdoor furniture cushions that gets the mold out (supposedly) i imagine it entails quite a bit of scrubbing. Good luck. :)
