Certainly, but be careful not to get the mold on you or breathe it--especially if you are allergic to mold.

First, with your clothing in the washer, run the rinse cycle with cold water and a cup of white vinegar. When that is done, mix 1/4 c Cascade (or other dishwasher detergent) and 1/4 c Bleach in a container with hot water. Add to the partially full washing machine (warm water) and allow the machine to agitate a couple of minutes. Turn it off and let soak for 15 minutes before running the wash cycle. (use as little water for this load as will mainly cover the clothing.

Check the clothing to see that the mold is gone. If not, place clothing in the sun for a few hours. After that, in either case, run through a regular wash cycle with soap.

Clothes are solid because they do not mold to the shape of their surroundings. However, the spaces in between each fiber are filled with a gas ( assuming that the clothes are dry) which allows them to move as if they were solid.


Is chlorine bleach safe for refrigerator mold removal?

No. Unfortunately, the notion that bleach kills mold is a myth. In essence, it removes stains, not the mold because it does not have any effect on destroying the roots of mold spores. Furthermore, there is some argument that bleach worsens the problem because it tends to make surfaces more porous due to its abrasive nature. To effectively remove the mold in your fridge, we suggest a natural mold remover. Benefect is a company who's disinfectant we use at www.drymeout.com on our huge mold remediation jobs but they also offer products for consumers www.benefect.com. Alternatively, you could try white vinegar or tea tree oil. White vinegar has been proven to kill 82% of all mold species while Tea Tree Oil has a higher fungicide and has been shown to kill all mold species. It is important to keep yourself safe during all mold removal procedures. Please wear a mask, long cleaning gloves and obtain the maximum ventilation possible in your work area. Always completely dispose of all materials used in a mold removal procedure.

THis means these products are only cleaning the stain left over after the mold is already dead, not actually killing the mold. Its a grey area where manufacturers of these cleaners are trying to get around EPA regulations. As for Mildew, mildew is a grime (dirt) not mold.
