Stain Buster — Mildew
The best ways to remove mould stains
Fabric
Flush the stain with cold running water. Pretreat with a prewash stain remover and wash on the hottest possible setting for that particular fabric.
Upholstery
Mix one tablespoon of washing up liquid with two cups of cool water. With a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution and blot until the liquid is absorbed. Keep sponging and blotting until the stain disappears. Sponge with cold water and blot dry.
Carpet
Mix one tablespoon of washing up liquid with two cups of warm water. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Keep sponging and blotting until the stain disappears or is no longer absorbed into the cloth. If the stain remains, mix one tablespoon of ammonia (warning: Never mix bleach and ammonia - the resulting fumes are hazardous) with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with the ammonia solution. Blot until the liquid is absorbed. Sponge with cold water and blot dry.
