Pray for my clothes!!

Last autumn being very organised I bagged up my whole summer wardrobe and stored it in the airing cupboard. I've just pulled them out and unbeknownst to me there's been a leak from a pipe, the whole lot is soggy with signs of black mould. I've bunged it in the wash with a tonne of vanish products but thinking it's going to be beyond saving - literally all my favourite bits, little summer tops, dresses, fave shorts etc, I'm the kind of person who wears a favourite thing until it dies. I bloody hate clothes shopping but I'll have nothing. Prayers appreciated!

What was the outcome? Wine

Aw that's such a shame! We have problems with mould in our house at times including in my wardrobe once so I share your pain! I hope some things are still wearable - I tend to wear my stuff till it wears out too 😁

7 lovely items sadly deceased, thankfully my shorts survived, some other bits do have small black mould spots left on but think will be hidden by the pattern - note to self, next time just leave it in drawers rather than tidying up for winter!!

Do you gave any outside space? Hang the clothes up in some bright sunshine to kill any lingering mould. You may even get rid of the few black spots.
