How do I remove them?

They don't appear when using flat shading.

Nothing in the scene can cause this.

The problem occurs in smooth shading because it changes the way the shading is calculated across the surfaces, giving the illusion of a smooth surface even if the angle between the faces is sharp.

To correct that, add edge split modifier while all faces are set to smooth shading.

    $\begingroup$ Would be useful to add why this is the solution. $\endgroup$ Commented May 19, 2015 at 22:51

  • Consider using a mix shader in Cycles. Mix a combo of diffuse dominantly and and gloss to a lesser degree.
  • Replace your first shader with the mix shader then add the gloss and diffuse

    $\begingroup$ While this does help, it doesn't remove the problem completely. $\endgroup$
