Help! Mould on clothes?

2 replies

Just took out a box of non-maternity clothes I had chucked in a nappy box under my bed last November and 2 of my favourite pairs of jeans which were in the bottom of the box have mould growing on them-Yuck! Are they salvageable? If so, how? If not, should I bin the entire box & its contents? Soooooooo disappointed!

TIA!

wash them on 60 degrees and tehy should be ok. Seriously though, i think the bigger issue is why its damp enough for mould to grow in your bedroom....or did you accidentally put the jeans away damp last year?

I'd be surprised if you got the mould out. Is it fluffy mould or black pinpricks mould? If the latter, it stains like absolute buggery.

Yes, wash all the other stuff on a hot wash to get rid of the mould spores. Do you know why it's mouldy under the bed?
