What takes mold out of fabrics?

Question

My daughters stroller and outdoor playpen has gotten some mold on it and i cant figure out how to remove it. Help please!!!

Answer 1

thats really unsanitary, throw them away, they can give your daighter deseases, even if you clean it, its still infected with it

Answer 2

Bleach will kill all the bacteria, but you might just want to play it safe and get rid of them, I had a mold problem in my basement, but it was at the base of the wall, all we did was put bleach on the bottom 2 1/2 inches of the wall, luckily the carpet had no mold, we only had to replace the under foam and side molding (partly because of wood rot).

Answer 3

I haven' t found anything that will get it out, but if it's not that bad try some hydrogen peroxide. That is what I use on all my stains. It is not harsh at all and it WON'T fade or bleach any of the colors. It may not get all the mold out, but it might fade it a bit.

I hope this helps.

Answer 4

bleach kills mold.

It is worth a try!!!

Take the mold stained clothing outside and brush it out, to prevent spores from spreading around your home. Clothing that has been stored in proximity to the mold stained clothing should also be taken out and aired, and wiping down the shelf, drawer, or closet where the clothing was kept with a mild bleach solution will kill any spores floating in that environment.

The next step is to leave the clothing in the sun to dry out, because heat and sunlight kill many varieties of mold. Hang the clothing from a clothes line so that it remains well ventilated and the sunlight falls evenly across most of the garment. Mold stains will likely still remain, because fungus discolors fabric.

Presoak the mold stains in cold water, and then wash hot or warm with detergent. Check the garment before putting it in the dryer to make sure that the mold stains are gone, and wash it again if necessary. Drying the garment in the sun to kill any remaining spores is advised. If the mold stains persist, blot the area with a mild bleach solution, if possible, and launder it again. For colored fabrics, use a lemon juice and salt solution and rinse with cold water immediately.

It's probably too late, but chlorine bleach is the only thing I know of that will remove mold.  I would probably just trash it and get a new (or used) one without the mold if it were my child.  Some molds are really dangerous.
