Easy Ways to Get Rid of Mold and Ink Stains on Clothes

1. Use a toothbrush

Step 1: Scrub the mold with a brush

• Carefully brush the mold or ink stain on the clothes using an old toothbrush. This should help remove a significant amount of mold or stains on the clothes.
• After use, dispose of the toothbrush immediately to prevent dust and mold from spreading or contaminating other clothes.

Step 2: Spray mold remover onto the affected area

• Use a laundry detergent and spray it directly onto the area affected by mold or stains. Allow the detergent to soak on the stains for at least 30 minutes before washing.

Step 3: Wash clothes with hot water and vinegar

• Wash your clothes in hot water and add vinegar. This will help eliminate about 80% of mold spores and remove any musty smell from the clothes.
• Pour vinegar into the washing tub, start the washing machine, and let it fill with water. Pause the machine and soak the clothes for about an hour. Then resume the washing cycle.

Step 4: Dry the clothes

• After washing, use the drying mode on your washing machine or hang the clothes to dry under sunlight.
• Make sure to hang the clothes properly to prevent them from getting moldy.

Step 1: Select the hot water washing mode

• Similar to the previous methods, choose the hot water wash setting for clothes with mold.

Step 2: Dissolve starch in hot water

• Dissolve about 1/2 cup of starch in 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the starch completely dissolves.
