Getting mould off clothes

pixie_dust

Hi guys,

my favorite coat is somehow after growing tiny patches of mould as it was in the wardrobe for ages.....Anyone know of a good solution of getting mould off clothes? Don't want to get rid of it!

dee.

Apparently leaving the clothes out in the sun will get rid of it, worked for me anyways. My converse had patches growing so I left them out in the sun (about 3 days) and the mold/awful musky smell was gone. I washed them afterwards and they've been fine since.

I did this with a neighbours buggy fabric and it worked:
The fabric was a plastic coated cotton.
I have to be prepared for the chance of an accidental home birth..

Try hanging it in your bathroom while running the shower and the steam helps lift the mould off. I tried this with a couple of old coats of mine that were sitting in a wardrobe in my parents' house for a while and it worked.

Sun is the best for getting rid of mildew on clothing.

However, this is Ireland in January

I've used a dry cleaner for this before. Interestingly, some dry cleaners refuse to take clothing with any sort of mildew on it so ring beforehand. PM me if you want the one I used (in Dublin).
