Read the care label fully first. Mildew develops when items are left damp, and shows as pink, grey or red spots. Recent mildew usually comes off in a heavy-duty detergent wash. On white cottons and linens, a solution of 1 tablespoon of hypochlorite bleach (e.g. Domestos) in 2 pints of water and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar is very effective – but this is too aggressive for most fabrics. You can also use 1 part 20% volume hydrogen peroxide dissolved in 4 parts water on all white fabrics except nylon. Never use bleach on wool, silk, flame resistant or easy-care finishes. Coloured fabrics should be rubbed with household soap and dried in the sun (a chemical reaction between the soap and ultra violet light kills the spores). Rinse well and wash with Persil Biological. Repeated re-washing will help to reduce stains.
