How to remove mold out of fabric


Mildew, like mold, is a fungus that tends to grow in dark, moist places, especially those that aren't accessed too often. Storing seasonal clothing away for next year makes them a prime target for mildew.

Before you consider tossing everything away and spending you're hard-earned money on a new wardrobe, try removing the mildew. Here are some easy and inexpensive ways to get mildew out of clothes:


 Lemon juice and salt:
  1. Make a paste from lemon juice and salt.
  2. Rub the paste onto the mildewed areas.
  3. Let the garments dry in the sun.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until no mildew remains.
White vinegar and water:
  1. For heavy mildew buildups, pour some full-strength vinegar on the mildew.
  2. For light stains, mix equal parts of vinegar and water. Pour this solution on the mildew.
