MOULD STAINS

Mould stains can form on clothes when splashed with food or when wet and left in a warm, dark place.

Brush any visible mould from clothing outdoors so the spores do not spread in your home. It is advised that you wear a protective face mark to avoid contamination.

After you’ve brushed your clothes, let them sit in the sunshine so the heat of the sun can kill any remaining mould.

Presoak clothes that have stains in cold water, then wash in hot water with detergent and ¾ cup of vinegar to kill mould growth and remove odours. Allow the clothing to dry completely in the sun. If stain persists, sponge the contaminated area with diluted colour-safe chlorine bleach. After 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly and launder as usual.

Make sure you treat all clothing that has been in the proximity to the mouldy garment to avoid cross-contamination.
