” Whenever dealing with mold on clothing—or any other type of fabric—always launder on hot. Hot water is effective at both killing and removing mold, whereas warm or cold water will be ineffective. Only use bleach on white clothing, since it will fade or remove the color from dyed fabrics. If the moldy item of clothing is colored, you’ll need to try a different method. Once your laundry machine has mostly filled with hot water, add laundry detergent as you typically would. Once the detergent has started to foam, pour 1 cup (237 mL) of bleach into the water. If your laundry machine has a receptacle specifically labeled “bleach,” pour the bleach in that opening.  Manufacturer’s recommendations can vary concerning how much bleach to add to a load of laundry. If your bleach recommends using more or less than 1 cup, follow the instructions given on the packaging. Once you’ve added detergent and bleach, let the machine finish filling with water, and add your moldy clothing. Once the load has finished, the mold should be removed from the clothing. If the mold has not been removed after laundering, do not dry the clothing. Drying will not remove the mold.
