• Check any washing instructions and where appropriate soak the item in cold water for 30minutes and then wash it on a warm cycle, using a Borax laundry detergent. Borax is a natural mold cleaner.
• If the stain remains and if the item with the mold stain is white, you can use bleach.
• Dabbing on neat bleach may damage the fabric, so it is worth mixing bleach to a weaker strength to see if that works first.

• If the item of clothing is colored, then the advice is to try mixing lemon juice with salt and dabbing this on the stain and then rinsing. Do try a test patch first.
