How do you get mold out of clothes?

Answer 1

Well if there white try washing them with bleach.. and for color clothes try washing them with tide and 1/2 cup of biz or Clorox2.. Good Luck.. If that don't work, take them to a cleaners and see if they have any suggestions.. :)

Answer 2

Mild mildew in clothing, rewash with your detergent AND either liquid Spc N Span or Pine Sol in the load.  Heavy mildew or actual mold will not get washed out.

Answer 3

The other day I found mildew stain on my daughters fav. Gymboree top and well I couldn't use straight up chlorine bleach, so I did the next best thing. I tossed my daughters shirt in the pool and let it sit in there for a few days and then let in dry in the sun. Mildew was gone!

Though I know that is not practical for most people. Try oxyclean or clorox 2 or mule team borax and soak it or even lemon juice and let it dry in the sun.

Answer 4

hang it out in the sun, the sun works wonders!

Answer 5

Clorox or bleach turn the mold white but is is still there.

Soak the cloths in a good 6 to one mix of water and white table vinigar.Then run them through a wash with a clorox two. Then hang them in the hot sun to dry.

Then tumble them in the dryer just a bit with a fabric softener cloth.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Check out the remarkable research on toxic mold removal done by environmental expert Dr Ed Close. Simply diffusing a therapeutic-grade essential oil regularly will likely result in an environment very hostile to mold.

Cost of the Thieves Household Cleaner, a diffuser and a couple bottles of the Thieves oil that Dr Close recommends to his remediation clients: about $250.

The diffused oil would penetrate your clothing. I use a cap or two full of Thieves Household Cleaner every washer load...nothing else needed.

Answer 8

I gert mold out by soaking them in 1/2 cup oxiclean dissolved in warm water for an hour to three days depending on how much mold before washing. Clothes come out looking new. No fading from bleach.

Answer 9

Mildew stains and smells can actually be removed with a lemon and some salt. Cut the lemon in half, sprinkle a generous amount of salt on the inside of the lemon and scrub away.
