Answers:
Wash them and add 1 cup white distilled vinegar to the wash. Vinegar kills mold and deodorizes, plus it is very inexpensive.
bleach and fabreze would be my guess and some tide with downy in it. good luck
Baking soda and hot water. Soak in a bucket overnight.
hang them outside if possible
Bleach. U can dilute it with water, half cup to one gallon of water then poor it into the wash tub Before you add ur clothes, than swish it around a bit in a full tub of wash water, add soap as usual. u may have to do this a couple of washings. Fabreez works good also. Just add it to regular wash load.
re wash throw in about a cup of white vinager
Oxy Clean does a great job and doesn't hurt the fabric. It also removes the mold spores that make any spot stains.
I always do what a previous poster mentioned...dump the clothes back in the wash and add roughly a cup or so of white vinegar to the load with your detergent. To prevent the smell in the future, try to take the clothes out of the wash and put on a clothes line or in the dryer before they've had time to dry and mildew. HTH!
You can wash your clothes in regular detergent just add about 1/2 c. baking soda to the wash water and wash as usual... That will take the mold smell out of the clothes.
1/2 cup of borax in the wash
1 cup of white vinegar in the rinse
