The closet is a favorite hang out for mold and mildew. They leave our clothes smelling musty and sometimes stain the fabric. The first step is to air out the closets. Take everything out, even the stuff that smells fine. Hang your clothes on the line outside where the sun can hit them. When you first hang them up, brush them off to remove any mold spores that may be there, and cover your nose and mouth while doing this. Once you've set them out in the sun for awhile, wash them. Along with your regular laundry detergent, add about 3/4 cup of vinegar. Vinegar is an all-natural mold removal, and it will take the smell right out. If it doesn't work on the first wash, try again until you get the results you want. Mold and mildew removal can all be done at home by yourself with household materials. Get it removed quickly, and you can ensure the best results.
