How do you remove mildew stain from cloth?

Kayren Johnson on Jun 09, 2013If it is white, you can wash it in strong bleach water & it may work, but if you dryed it in the dryer after you washed it, it is prolly there to stay. You may try dyeing it a different color??Helpful Reply

Patti Nicholas on Jun 09, 2013Be careful with bleach, as it will yellow cotton and put holes in some other types of fabric. I would try soaking it in lemon juice (the real stuff) and then hang in the sun, it may take several tries, but this should lighten the stain considerably.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Jun 10, 2013Take the pillow case to the cleaners. let them clean it for you. If they cannot do it, I doubt you would have any luck at home. You could also try Oxy bleach. But you need to be careful to much bleaching will weaken the threads in the fabric. Also be sure to not set the stain by heating the pillow case in the dryer.Helpful Reply

Tabby on Aug 30, 2013Lemon juice and sun will work, always does for me. Cheap & easy. Sometimes rubbing alcohol will work but test an inconspicuous spot first. Mildew is a form of mold.Helpful Reply
