    My baby was sick on his clothes once somehow they got lost behind the changing table pulled them out and they were covered in mould. As they were white I soaked them in Milton solution then washed and it got all the mould out. Would be worried about the colour fastness on other clothes though

    Hello

    I've been clearing out my changing bag and discovered that some soggy bits of food at the bottom have managed to help a yicky black mould start growing. I've attacked it with baby wipes and then dettol but nothing is shifting it. What can I do to make it go? I am wary of the specialist stuff I've seen online as it's for a baby's bag, so food and nappies etc will be stored in it.

    Thanks!

    Burn nappy bag.
    Be a tad more scrupulous with replacement bag.
    I had a lot of daft stuff in my nappy bag, but it went into the wash & is now doing sterling service holding son3's toy gun collection...

    I want to try to save it first. It's a Pacapod and was a present, so definitely worth saving.

    Thank you for the Milton tip MrsMH.
  • Could it go in the washing machine?
