Much appreciate this info. I had seen many suggestions here on how to deal with the musty odors , but yours is the first success story , Thanks
|
Yes, have done that - also helps with whitening dingy linens and such. I used that technique to make an old christening gown usable for my daughter some thirty or so years ago! That brought back a good memory. Thanks.
|
Great tip. I'll try it next time instead of baking soda.
|
that is so great to know. i am glad you published that. i will have to try that next time. sometimes something smells musty and you can't even get rid of the smell completely when you wash it especially with antique fabrics sometimes that someone has stored for quite a while.
|
I recall when I was a kid and my mom had to take the family laundry to the public laundry facility. She would (weather permitting) lay out the sheets on the grass and spritz them with water and the sun would bleach the old linen.
Glad you got the musty out. |
Very helpful info...darn, the number of things I have gotten rid of cuz I didn't know
|
I have laid things on the lawn overnight, not only helps the smell, but can also remove stains. Works like a miracle!
|
Great idea and the price is right.

I've hung fabric outside to remove odors, but never heard of putting it on dew. I can't do that because the horses would probably stomp all over it but it's good to know.

Can't see how the dew could cleanse a whole quilt, much less kill visible mildew. Do please let us know if that works!

How did you know that I needed this information right now? My DH went to an auction house and bought a huge box with fabrics and a quilt ready to be bound. Only one piece has some mildew/mold on it and it isn't a big piece of the fabric. I had heard of putting it outside on the line, but not in the dew. Thanks :thumbup:
