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