Use bleach
If the moldy clothes are light or colorless, choosing bleach is a very reasonable choice. Soak moldy clothes for a few hours with bleach mixed according to the directions on the label, and then hand wash as usual.
Or you can also follow the instructions on the bleach bottle and pour the bleach inside to wash. Always remember to wear rubber gloves when using bleach to protect the skin of your hands.
White Vinegar
White vinegar when combined with laundry detergent will be an excellent mold remover. Mix a glass of white vinegar in a water with a ratio of 2:1 and soak the clothes in it for at least an hour. Then wash the soaked clothes again with washing water to increase the cleaning effect.
borax
Borax is a natural mold remover, which you can buy as a powder or as a solution. If you buy powder, mix the powder with water in the ratio indicated on the instructions for use and then pour the solution directly into the washing tub and wash the clothes as usual.
Baking soda
Baking soda is one of the miracle cleaners. You put a glass of soda and clothes in the washing machine, choose the longest washing cycle and the highest temperature possible. You can apply this method a few times until the smell is gone. You can buy baking soda at bakeries.
Dry clothes in the sun
When your clothes are just starting to get moldy, wash them quickly and dry them in the sun. The sun will destroy all fungal spores clinging to the fabric and eliminate unpleasant musty odors. If the weather is wet, use it to dry and then dry your clothes in the sun as soon as possible.
However, prevention is better than cure, keep in mind the following notes to keep your clothes smelling fresh, clean, and mold-free:
+ Take the clothes out of the washing machine as soon as possible after the machine has finished washing.
+ Hang wet clothes on the drying rack as soon as they are removed from the washing machine.
+ Dry the inner clothes (be sure to check the washing instructions to make sure the clothes can be dried).
+ Sweaty clothes or wet swimwear should not be left in one place for too long. You should dry them on the drying rack to dry before putting them in the dirty laundry bin.
