Two days ago I saw that one of my favourite shirts has mold stains. So far I’ve soaked it in 1:1 water and vinegar, dilute colorsafe bleach, and detergent separately for a few hours each. That might’ve killed the mold but the stains aren’t coming off. I rubbed powdered detergent on the shirt and left it in the sun for a few hours then scrubbed it with a toothbrush but the stains are still there.
Do you guys know of any good ways to remove mold stains?
What color is the shirt? You might be able to bleach it back to white if it was a white shirt. Otherwise, you might have to invest in a new favorite shirt. What made it your favorite?
PSA most white garments are dyed white and will yellow if bleached. There are almost no “true white” fabrics/fibers in nature (cotton and wool are more cream colored, for example) so be careful using bleach on your clothes
It’s plain and cream colored (which makes the stains stand out more) so I avoided using strong bleach. My gf gifted it to me. I wore it when I visited my family. Some drama happened and I completely forgot to dry out the shirt :(
