Mould removal from clothes.

jlm29 · 2016-07-17 15:06:51

My son and my nephew had a bit too much fun with the garden hose a little over a week ago. I threw their clothes in the laundry basket, and forgot about them and went on hols- now, of course, there's black mould spots on several items of clothing- is there ANY way I can rescue them?

Hmmm Try fairy liquid , then soaking in hot water with Aldi almatt bio washing detergent? The. Wash them at highest temp possible (check care label) in the machine wash, use almatt again. The stuff is magical!!

Lemon juice and sunshine should do the trick.

Thanks- I think we're due a bit of sun this week!
I'm so cross with myself! I threw some of the baby's (nice, not hand-me-down) stuff in on top of them, and they're wrecked too! I'm normally constantly flipping washing, so that wouldn't happen, but I didn't get a chance before we went away!
