Mold on Clothing

My experience with mold has not been too successful. I sadly learned the hard way that I just can't win the battle with mold. I had a few items that were almost new. Same thing happened they got wet, was put in a bag and forgotten about until the odor ratted them out. I was heart broken as I tried just about everything...even bleach on a white shirt. I found nothing never took the stain out or completely removed the odor. And I even tried washing it a bunch of times on top of trying different products. That didn't help either. I ended up having to throw away the clothes that were infected. Sorry I can't be more help...maybe someone else has a solution?

Have you tried vinegar? Distilled vinegar is a great cleaner and stain remover. I know it does a great job removing build up and odor in the washing machine. Perhaps it would work on clothes too.

I would try washing the load in white vinegar instead of detergent, then wash in detergent. If that doesn't work, try bleach = but that might not be good for your colors. There is something called Oxymold from the makers of oxyclean, but I have never used it but you can find more info on the net.
good luck...

When my kids clothes got like that from being left outside I ended
throwing them away because nothing I did got the smell or the black spots out.

I have had this happen to me already and unfortunately I wasn't able to get the smell out either. I ended up having to throw them away. You could try and use oxi clean I heard that is helps. Good Luck.

I use Arm & Hammer liquid laundry detergent and a hot water wash cycle for items that are moldy. If, however, they have those little black spots on them you might want to just throw them out. I've never been successful in removing those marks.

If you can't use bleach try baking soda and or dishwasher soap on the hotest temp you have. Good luck!!

I think someone else mentioned, so I will echo.. use vinegar in a hot wash cycle. Make sure to let it stand for a bit. Also anything with a oxygen releasers! Good Luck
