mould on silk dress?

[EdgarAleNPie]

my black silk crepe dress has mould on the sleeves. it is dry clean only. very dry clean only - how to get the mould out?

how do i stop further mould in my wardrobe?
is there something i can hang in there to absord the moisture/ fragrance my clothes?

smells a bit damp due to being in colder extension part of house.

Is the mould like little brown spots in the fabric?

I am a dry cleaner, please don't attempt to try and get it out. It should come out in the dry cleaner without problems, and for the sake of a tenner you don't want to spoil it. I see so may disasters where people have tried to get a little mark off and have ruined a £100 ( or more often) dress.HTH

Not sure about the dress but a dehumidifier should help. They are great to use at night as they stop the windows from steaming up too.

the mould is in little round patches.

colour only slightly lighter than the black.

probably, yes, the dry cleaner is the best first thing to try.

DH put the same dress (but in wool crepe) into the washing machine and ruined it. never again.
