Removing mold from fabric?

Question

When we opened up our tent camper earlier this week we noticed we must have closed it down with some moisture still on it because there was a large mold spot that seems to be getting bigger. I don't want to use bleach on the fabric as it will probably bleach the blue colored material. How can I clean this without ruining the color and make sure it is gone for good?

Answer 1

Pour white vinegar straight on it and let it dry in the sun. That should remove it. If not do it again. Vinegar will kill the bacteria and the sun will help remove the mold spot.

Answer 2

I have had great results when I soak in oxiclean, It doesn't hurt any fabric, whites or colors.

This is what I do for stains;

It takes out most every stain, in an hour to three days.

dissolve 1/2 cup oxiclean powder in some hot water, in a bucket or large bowl. Add enough water so the item can soak. Add cold water after the oxiclean is dissolved when the item should not be in hot water. Let soak till the stain is gone.

Each day Refresh the oxiclean and water. By draining the water and making a new mixture.

I got hair dye, food stains, mold & mildew, grass stains, yellowing from age, under arm stains out, also bleeding from other colors out ( remember to use cold water), just to name a few tough stains that can be gotten out!
