Mold Stains on Clothing

By elizabeth m (Guest Post) 09/04/2008

I actually washed very moldy colored linens with a half a cup of LYSOL which made them stink of lysol! Then I dried them with fabric sheets (a ton of them) to remove the horrible smell. It worked and nothing was ruinedl I never thought it would work. I also added oxyclean to the wash as well as a little washing machine detergent and "now" detergent which is mail order only but a savior at times.

I had to do ten loads- All of my sheets and linens in the house. It worked. And I got rid of the lysol smell. the sheets alone did not work unless I had used lysol first. It was a daring move but it worked. Good luck to you. now a lot of ironing to be donel

Try soaking your clothes in "Simple Green" or "Odor Ban" and then washing them with regular detergent. You can get either of those products at Sam's Club/WalMart/Home Depot. If any of them are white, soak them in a bit of bleach and the mold will disappear.

Some clothing (cotton, polyester) were left outside in a bag. When I opened the bag the clothing was damp and spots of mold had formed all over them. Do you have a rememdy for getting the mold stains out. Diana, London, Ontario

RE: Mold on Clothing

You can wash your moldy clothes in the washing machine and put white vinegar and baking in instead of soap. It works pretty good. (09/02/2005)
