    You can also use pine sol in your laundry. I used it this way after a flood two years ago , and have had no problems at all with it, plus, none of the color faded, like it would with bleach.

    Direct sunlight is amazingly effective. After a few hours turn the clothing to ‘do’ both sides. Take them inside well before shadows form on them because dew will as well, thus defeating the purpose. Bob Vila suggests white vinegar with baking soda. I tried soaking in water with vinegar and a little baking soda first then washing. I found this a distant second to a few hours of sunlight. The clothes actually smelt sweet after!

  • @hounamao7140

    I ran an empty cycle at 95c to clean the machine then washed all my clothes at 60c except silk and wool. And reran an empty cycle at 95c to eliminate the spores definitely. I have years of mildew build up.

    I had some of my clothes in the basement while I was on travel. My stupid landlord had a leak and never even told me about it. I came back and my clothes were soaked for who knows how long. It smells so bad. I had to throw a lot away because of big mold stains. I'm washing them in loads twice each time with Arm and Hammer detergent with Oxiclean and Odor Blasters. If that doesn't work I will do the vinegar treatment. This is so stressful.
