There are mold spots on the clothes

March to April every year in my country is the damp and cold rainy season. During this period, it rains every day and there is no sunshine.

How to remove mildew stains from clothes?

Method 1: Soak and wet-wash the clothes in aerobic laundry detergent particles. Aerobic washing is a type of laundry detergent that can inactivate mold and remove the musty odor. It can greatly reduce the mold stains on fibers or greatly dilute their color. It is important to use different bleaches for different fiber types and to perform color fastness tests before any treatment. If the dye does not resist any oxygen bleaching, then test the colorfastness with ammonia or detergent, as this may improve the condition of the garment. Moisture and lack of ventilation or sunlight will accelerate the growth of mold, so clothes placed in plastic bags should be disposed of immediately to prevent mold growth.

Method 2: Soak the moldy clothes in rice washing water overnight to allow the remaining protein to absorb the mold. The next day, the color of the rice water became darker and a lot of the mold stains had been removed. For areas where mildew is still stubborn, you can apply some 5% alcohol solution, or scrub repeatedly with hot soapy water several times, and then just scrub as usual, and the mildew can be completely removed.

It turns out that the method to deal with mold spots on clothes is very simple. If it is cotton clothing, you can use mung bean sprouts to rub the mold spots repeatedly several times, then wash and dry them. For woolen clothes, you can just wipe them with a towel dipped in soapy water. Therefore, you might as well try the method introduced above. I believe you will be able to restore a bright, brand new piece of clothing soon.
