Two days ago I saw that one of my favourite shirts has mold stains. So far I’ve soaked it in 1:1 water and vinegar, dilute colorsafe bleach, and detergent separately for a few hours each. That might’ve killed the mold but the stains aren’t coming off. I rubbed powdered detergent on the shirt and left it in the sun for a few hours then scrubbed it with a toothbrush but the stains are still there.

Do you guys know of any good ways to remove mold stains?

    A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don’t intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.

      Ok, but for the rest of us who AREN’T perfect, this could be a situation that one encounters.

      “Should haves” are the least wanted advice.
