What can I do to remove mildew from clothing?
1. Shake or brush the items outdoors to remove loose growth.
2. Pre soak in cold water.
3. Wash in hot water and heavy duty detergent. If items are white, add 1/2 cup liquid chlorine bleach to wash load. If colored, use all fabric bleach.
4. With permanent press or synthetic fabrics, use the permanent press cycle with automatic cool down before the spin cycle to prevent wrinkles.
5. If staining remains on items, repeat washing before drying.
6. Dry thoroughly; heat and sun tend to kill mildew.
Mildew attacks and destroys fibers, so clothing may not be restored to original appearance.
I like Oxiclean to.
