Eek useless housewife help please

Ella wore her divine new fisher price outfit from usa a few weeks ago and got food on it so i put it in tub as washing machine was full - thinking I will do it next load. In meantime SOMEONE (both mum and DH deny it!) put a soaking wet towel on top of it.

SO by time i come to wash it 1-2 days later it has mouldy spots on it. I have sprayed stain remover, I have soaked and soaked and soaked it in napisan, oxywash and hung it out and it still has spots on it. it has been washed at least four times now.....

It is cotton so .......how the heck do i get mould out of this outfit????

I agree with Mel I havent ever been able to mould out of anything either. Hopefully the dry cleaners can!!

Argh at The denial from DH and Mum

Sorry to say, I don't think you can get mold out of anything It's happened to me too, so gutted! Let us know if you do manage it though!

I was given heaps of baby and toddler clothes when I was pregnant and while sorting and washing them I found a few items with food still in the pockets (they'd been stored for a couple of years by then) and the mold and stains were disgusting so I shoved everything in a bleach solution - I figured I had nothing to lose becuase she wasn't going to wear it stained so if I ruined it I didn't care. I did ruin a couple of items but others turned out perfecting including a beautiful pink floral pp dress - you wouldn't know it had been bleached.
So, if you don't mind that there's a chance it'll be ruined try bleach.

Just went through exactly the same thing with a beautiful pink body suit of Olivia's with "Sugar and Spice" writing on the front of it!
Get some bleach and put 1/20th of it into a spray bottle, top up the bottle with water and spray the stain then soak in some oxyaction stuff for over night. If the solution isn't strong enough make it a little stronger. The solution only needs to be strong enough to kill the mould and not the colouring.

Great tip Peace

I've also recently learned that if you accidentally splash a small amount of bleach onto an outfit the bleach stain can be easily covered by felt tip pen.

I was doing laundry before work recently and got a dot of bleach on my grey suit dress, I rinsed it immediately but too late to save it so now everytime I wash it I colour in the stain with a grey felt afterwards.

Worst comes to worst if your kids clothes get small stains or tears you can always pop to spotlight and buy a sew-on or iron-on fabric badge to cover it (am going to do this with Michaela's winter Jacket which has a small tear). For more delicate clothing like dresses you could get a piece of fabric and cut it to a shape you like (heart/butterfly) overlock the edges then sew it on.

I got shocking mould out of the high chair straps after it had been stored for months in the shed with a weak bleach solution and then leaving it in the sun to bleach the mould out, it worked perfectly.

Sucks how easy it is for clothes to get mould spots in this heat tho

I have no ideas, hope something works for you. I've seen the pic of the outfit and it's soooo gorgeous, hope you can save it

How did it go? Did you ever get the mold out?
