Nothing of use in those links but thanks anyway
I have got bicarb of soda and bleach ..... it's the size of it - I suppose I could soak it in the bath .... hot or cold though ... sobBon App's Scraps!MFb40 # 130 -
I have sprayed it with vinegar and am going to leave it to soak overnight in soda crystals
fingers crossed but it looks really bad

I don't know the best temperature for washing the fabric you have (I'd say err on the side of caution) but I suppose once you've washed it and killed the mould, if it's still stained you could dye it?

I was going to suggest dying them too... I think its unlikely you will get out the mould stains... so sorry...
I do hope you are able to save them one way or another (((hug)))0 -
thanks Newgirl x I've put it in the bath to soak and am going to have a glass of wine and forget about it untill tomorrow
I'm going to wash it on 60 deg wash then if any stains (which I think there will be) I'm going to try and use bleach ... it's totally white so think it'll be ok
Have discovered the cause .... an exploded bottle of bleeding HM wine - damn OS ways!! lol :rotfl:Bon App's Scraps!MFb40 # 130 -
Cheers Fru x
How depressingThink I'll have my glass of wine sooner rather than later
I agree I think there will be stains ... I have never had dyeing success but it's worth considering thanks again xBon App's Scraps!MFb40 # 130 -
