How to remove mold stains from home textiles and clothing: life hacks

When you take your seasonal clothes out of the closet, you often notice mold stains. This type of fungus spreads extremely quickly in places where there is excessive humidity. It is advisable to regularly ventilate all rooms to ensure good free air circulation.

Cleaning clothes from mold is not easy. Sante Plus offers simple and effective tips to help remove mold.

Sugar against mold

Cleaning expert Flavia Ferrari offers a simple, eco-friendly, and inexpensive life hack. She advises using it on white clothes, as bright colors can fade.

Add 100 ml of bleach and 3 tablespoons of sugar to a container of warm water. Mix thoroughly and then soak the dirty clothes. Leave the clothes for a few minutes to allow the ingredients to work. After that, rinse the clothes in clean water and run the washing cycle in the machine.

Baking soda

Baking soda is known for its deodorizing and absorbent properties. Moreover, regular washing of clothes with baking soda will soften and whiten them. Mix water, 1 tablespoon of laundry detergent, and 3 tablespoons of baking soda in a container of water. Experts recommend soaking clothes for at least 20 minutes and then washing them in a machine.

Lemon juice

There is another effective remedy - lemon juice. This life hack is also suitable for white and light clothes. Mix 2 liters of warm water, the juice of 2 lemons, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of soap. Soak dirty laundry in the solution and let it stand for at least an hour. In addition to getting rid of stains, lemon leaves a pleasant scent on your clothes.

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is also used to fight mold. The recipe is simple: mix water and hydrogen peroxide in a 4:1 ratio. Experts advise using this life hack only for fabrics such as linen and cotton.
