Removing Mold and Mildew Stains and Smell From Clothes
To remove mold
and mildew stains from clothes first brush off all of the
mold. Wash clothing at
once with laundry soap and water. Rinse well, but dry in the
sun, not the clothes dryer. Heat from the dryer may make spots
harder to remove.
If
a stain remains, try soaking in a laundry pre-soak product such
as MoldZyme, an enviormentally safe
product.
You can also
try to bleach the spots, but first be sure the bleach method
you choose will not change the color of the fabric. Try a
mixture of 2 Tablespoons of chlorine bleach in one quart of
water. Use hot water if it is safe for the fabric. Never use
chlorine bleach on silk or wool, or a fabric that says "no
chlorine bleach" on the label.
