Two days ago I saw that one of my favourite shirts has mold stains. So far I’ve soaked it in 1:1 water and vinegar, dilute colorsafe bleach, and detergent separately for a few hours each. That might’ve killed the mold but the stains aren’t coming off. I rubbed powdered detergent on the shirt and left it in the sun for a few hours then scrubbed it with a toothbrush but the stains are still there.

Do you guys know of any good ways to remove mold stains?

    From experience: sodium percarbonate. This is the active ingredient in oxy-clean powders and can be purchased online. In it’s pure form it’s commonly used as a sterilizing cleaner for brewing and bottling equipment. I’ve been using it in laundry for 10 years.

      Not to be confused with sodium perchlorate. That stuff is spicy!

        To be fair, it will also get stains out of clothes.
