I can't get these mold spores out of my clothing. They were left wet. What can I use?

Try soaking your clothes in "Simple Green" or "Odor Ban" and then washing them with regular detergent. You can get either of those products at Sam's Club/WalMart/Home Depot. If any of them are white, soak them in a bit of bleach and the mold will disappear.
I actually washed very moldy colored linens with a half a cup of LYSOL which made them stink of lysol! Then I dried them with fabric sheets (a ton of them) to remove the horrible smell. It worked and nothing was ruinedl I never thought it would work. I also added oxyclean to the wash as well as a little washing machine detergent and "now" detergent which is mail order only but a savior at times.
I had to do ten loads- All of my sheets and linens in the house. It worked. And I got rid of the lysol smell. the sheets alone did not work unless I had used lysol first. It was a daring move but it worked. Good luck to you. now a lot of ironing to be donel

I have a raincoat with mold on it. What can I use to remove this?

Gosh Thank you Thriftyfun. I washed pillows after our camping trip and didn't realize they were still damp inside when I stored them. We are preparing to visit our cabin again ( 5 months later ) and have mold all over each of our new pillows. I hate to throw them away, they are so soft!
Is there any way to remove mildew stains from clothing?
