How to remove mildew stains

We like to wash clothes and put them away when the seasons change, but if the clothes are left for a long time, they will become damp, which will cause mildew on the clothes. We all know that mildew is very difficult to remove, and generally washing powder cannot remove it, which leads to many people not knowing how to deal with it. So how to remove mildew effectively?

1. The mildew stains on clothes can be exposed to sunlight first, then the mildew can be cleaned with a brush, and then washed with alcohol, or rubbed with mung bean sprouts.

2. Soak the clothes contaminated with mildew in concentrated soapy water, take them out with the soapy water, place them in the sun for a while, repeat this process several times, and after the mildew stains are removed, rinse them with clean water.

3. Wipe with a 2% soap alcohol solution (add a handful of soft soap flakes to 250 grams of alcohol and stir evenly), then wipe with 3-5% sodium hypochlorite bleach or hydrogen peroxide, and finally wash. This method is only applicable to white clothes, and old stains can be soaked in the solution for 1 hour.

4. You can also wipe it with 5% ammonia water or turpentine, and then wash it with water to remove it.

5. Silk clothes can be washed with citric acid and then rinsed with cold water.

6. Mildew stains on linen fabrics can be cleaned with calcium chloride solution.

7. Stains on wool fabrics can also be cleaned with mustard solution or borax solution (add two tablespoons of mustard or two tablespoons of borax to a bucket of water).

The methods of eliminating mildew stains are gradually increasing. If you want to completely avoid mildew stains, you need to store clothes well at ordinary times. You should not put some washed clothes in places that are prone to moisture. At the same time, it is best to take out the clothes and dry them regularly to prevent the formation of mildew stains.
