How to wash moldy clothes

In spring, a rainy and humid season, if clothes are left in a too humid place for too long and are not washed in time, they will easily become moldy. It would be a pity to throw away or not wear expensive clothes once they become moldy. Some people want to know whether various types of clothes can be cleaned after they are moldy, and whether there are any methods. Next, let us learn together how to clean clothes most effectively after they are moldy.

1. During the rainy season, washed clothes are difficult to dry and often have an unpleasant musty smell. If you wash the clothes again in water with a small amount of vinegar and milk, you can remove the musty smell. If there are yellowed spots on the clothes or bed sheets you have collected, apply some milk, put them in the sun for a few hours, and then wash them in the usual way.

2. If there are mildew stains on the woolen fabric, you must first hang it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then wipe the mildew stains repeatedly with cotton dipped in a small amount of gasoline.

3. For new mildew stains, first use a brush and then use alcohol to remove them. Old mildew stains need to be coated with ammonia water, left for a while, then coated with potassium permanganate solution, and finally soaked with sodium ammonium sulfite solution and rinsed with water. In the above treatment process, different fabrics need different treatments: to prevent the spread of mildew.

4. Black spots will appear on white vests after wearing them for a long time. You can take 2 taels of fresh ginger, mash it, put it in a pot, add 1 jin of water and boil it. After it cools down a little, pour it into a washing basin, soak the white vest for ten minutes, and rub it repeatedly several times. The black spots will be eliminated.

5. Clothes that are dried in the shade are easily affected by moisture and have a musty smell. Just iron them again after drying in the shade to make the clothes drier, and there will be no musty smell or mold.

6. Cotton and linen. If natural colored cloth is moldy, you can expose it to sunlight; colored cloth can be dried in a ventilated place, and then brush off the mold spots after the fabric is dry.

7. Woolen cloth. Minor mildew spots can be dried and then gently brushed off. If the mildew is caused by oil or sweat, it can be brushed off with gasoline.

8. Satin. Minor mildew spots can be wiped with flannel. For heavier mildew spots, you can spray ammonia and iron them flat. Minor mildew spots on white satin can be wiped off lightly with alcohol.

I believe that the above detailed introduction to cleaning moldy clothes will be helpful to everyone. During the rainiest season in spring, everyone must wash the clothes they take off in time. If they cannot be washed in time, they must not be placed in a damp place to avoid mold. This makes it difficult to clean clothes.
