Summarize the following:
Run a stream of cool water over the beans until they’re completely submerged. There should be about 3 inches (7.5cm)  of water above the top layer. From here, you can decide whether you’d prefer to hot soak or cold soak the beans.  A good rule of thumb is to use roughly 2-5 cups (475ml-1L) of water for every cup of dried beans you want to soak. The exact amount you add will depend on the quantity of beans you’re preparing, as well as their size. The beans will expand as they soak, so it’s important that you place them in a container that offers a little extra room and use plenty of water to keep them covered. If the beans are in a stove-safe pot, turn on the cooktop and let them begin heating up. If you’re using a bowl, you can heat the water in a tea kettle first, then pour it over the top of the dried beans. Black beans will typically need 1-4 hours for a proper hot soak.  Smaller servings (between 2-4 cups, or 300-600g) shouldn’t require much time, whereas a big batch may need to sit longer in order to fully soften up. A thorough soak will break down the starches around the shells of the beans, effectively tenderizing them. For a more hands-off approach, submerge the beans in water that’s room temperature, then find something to occupy yourself for the next 6-8 hours. It’s that easy! Set a timer to remind yourself to drain the beans once they’re finished soaking.  Move the beans to the refrigerator while they soak if space in your kitchen is at a premium.  Cold-soaking is a convenient way to prepare black beans if you want to enjoy them at the end of a busy day—just put them in water before you head to work or school. Remove the beans from the bowl or pot and transfer them to a colander. Run them under a light stream of water, giving the colander an occasional shake to separate them. When you’re finished, they’ll be ready to cook and add to your favorite recipes or store for later. Rinsing the beans after soaking them isn’t strictly necessary, but it will help get rid of some of the starches that cause gas and make them hard to digest.

summary: Fill the container with water. Hot soak the beans to save time. Leave the beans to soak overnight instead. Rinse the beans clean.

Though the methods above should work well for most cases of mildew, there are a wide range of alternative home remedies that may also work well. For instance, lemon juice, which is sometimes used as a natural fabric cleaner, can be paired with ordinary salt to make an effective yet gentle abrasive cleaner. Follow the simple steps below:  Mix 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of undiluted lemon juice with enough salt to form a loose paste. Pour or scoop your lemon/salt paste onto the affected fabric. Scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush. Wash and dry your fabric in the laundry machine or use a vacuum to remove excess paste and air-dry. With dealing with white fabrics, you have more cleaning options available to you than with colored fabrics because you don't have to worry about causing your fabric's dye to bleed or fade. For a natural bleach solution that's great for removing old mildew stains from white fabrics, try using hydrogen peroxide (which should be very cheap at most grocery and department stores) with the following steps:  Use a cotton swab or a clean rag to dab hydrogen peroxide directly onto the stain. Allow the hydrogen peroxide to set for 15 minutes. Wash as normal. For extra stain-fighting power, add about 1/3 to 2/3 cup (80 to 160 milliliters) of hydrogen peroxide to your laundry in addition to your normal detergents. As noted above, vinegar can be a potent natural cleaning agent and odor-fighter. However, if you use this method, it's important to remember only to use white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and so on are colored liquids that can cause stains. Use the steps below to treat your fabric with vinegar:  Make a half-and-half mixture of vinegar and warm water in a small bowl. Dab this mixture into the affected fabric with a clean rag or add it to a spray bottle and spray it onto the fabric. Let the vinegar set for 10 minutes, then generously apply baking soda to the wet spot to neutralize the vinegar. For clothing, wash and dry as normal. For upholstery and carpet, vacuum and allow to dry. If you're lucky enough to enjoy clear, sunny days where you live, you have an opportunity to remove pesky mildew stains from your fabric with minimal effort. The simple act of drying your fabrics in the sun (rather than in a mechanical dryer) after washing has been proven to have a noticeable lightening effect on stains. Use a drying rack or a hanging wire for best results. Use caution with colored fabrics, however; leaving them in the sun for long periods of time can cause their dye to fade.

summary: Use lemon juice and salt for a natural cleaning rub. Mix hydrogen peroxide with water for a mild bleach. Try a foamy baking soda/vinegar mixture. Dry fabrics in the sun for a natural stain-removing effect.
