Is mildew the death of my favorite sweater?

Well, just discovered a bunch of clothes in a plastic bag.

From back in July when I moved. :eek:

That obviously had something in with them that was damp. :smack:

I washed them, but there is still the awful mildew stench.

Anyone know of anyway to get this out? Or are these clothes ruined forever?

A professional dry cleaner can probably help you out. The only other thing you might try could be washing them again and add EITHER a little vinegar or baking soda (but not both!), but that is probably very risky depending on the fiber so go to the cleaners, if it’s worth a few dollars to try and salvage them.

Oh, thank god. There might at least be something I can do!

Removing mildew.

Great info, Walloon. Thanks.
