My husband and I owned a house trailer, but just sold it to our son. We turned the heat off and it's been closed up all this winter, now the couches have either mold or mildew on them. They feel very damp or wet, it's been very cold. I thought mildew only grew in warm temps. What can I do to clean the furniture, because our son plans on keeping it. Help please.

There are some things you can try. Setting them out in the sunshine for as long as you reasonably can is one. Thoroughly spraying them down with tea tree oil or citricidal concentrate mixed with water is another. Bleach would be best for killing mode but would probably damage the fabric and mar the color.
Sadly, once mold gets into something porous like upholstered furniture it is very hard to get it out.
bleach does not kill mold!!!!!!!
Get a personal steam cleaner (dirt devil) its takes some work but it will get it done.
can I use White Vinegar insted of water for the steamer?
