Use Bleach
Bleach helps to kill mold and its allergens. For added efficiency, mix with borax.
(It only works for white clothing because bleach fades colors.)
How to Use Bleach to Wash Your Clothes
When using your washing machine, make sure to add a cup of bleach into your washing machine.
When hand washing your clothes, make sure to take a bowl of hot water and mix a cup of bleach. Before rinsing with a detergent, let the solution soak for a few hours.
Use Hydrogen Peroxide
An application of 3 % hydrogen peroxide is effective at removing surface mold. Just spray it, leave it on for 10 minutes, and wait for it to stop fizzing.
How to Use Hydrogen Peroxide to Wash Your Clothes
First, mix a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide with a cup of hot water. Then put the mixture inside of a spray bottle.
Next, spray on a cloth. Spray all over on all sides.
Then, before washing, let it soak for at least 10 minutes.
Finally, pour inside washer or bucket.
Use Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is more effective at removing mold than bleach. Plus, it is more natural and safer than bleach.

Mold is Dangerous
Mold is dangerous. Donโt forget, mold is everywhere. There are safe levels of mold and dangerous levels of mold. When your clothes are contaminated with visible toxic mold, then it is time to take action. The best course of action is to throw away the contaminated articles of clothing, but this may not be necessary. It is also up to you.
