Just looked in DD's wardrobe and noticed her winter coat which she's not worn for a few months has some sort of white mildew/mould on the arms/the bottom or it. It's a kind of anorak/parka shower proof thing.
I don't see signs of mould on any of the other clothes in her wardrobe, but everything is pretty crammed together.
I can't boil the coat, but was thinking of doing a rinse cycle with a cup of vinegar then washing with biological washing powder. I think this will remove visible mould, but I don't know if it would kill it/the coat be OK to wear if I don't boil it?
Also, what about all the other clothes in her wardrobe? There's severe lack of drying weather or drying space in my home and I'd already planned out getting through the existing laundry pile - do I need to wash all of the other clothes? Not sure if they are hygienic/safe to wear :(
What other measures do I need to take?
Thanks
