mouldy bibs?

[butterfly_warrior]

I'm finding that my plastic-backed bibs have a tendency to go mouldy. Anyone have ideas on how to remove the mould stains to save me throwing them out and replacing them? I usually wash them with my regular detergent and add napisan into the load... even hanging them in the sun to dry isn't helping much. I'd rather not use bleach.

when my washing machine broke down i had a pile of wet clothes and a baby blanket that's 11 years old got moldy i was so uspet, I took my washing to leasha's and to use her washing machine and my gosh, thats my next washing machine its got silver technology or something and it got ALL the mold out my machine now wouldnt have and i would have had to throw it away. does your machine have this technology or a laundry mat near you or another family friend member?

Nope... I have a few like that too... I thought it was banana that caused it, but I know you don't use banana...

I was reading somewhere the other day about vinegar wash and sunshine, or milton tablets? But I cant remember where that was.... Sorry....

I was going to try Hollys sugar soap stain removal from a thread I can hopefully find for you, to get rid of the stain... Ok Here is the link to the thread with the sugar soap thing...

I think once the sun has killed the mould spores all you are left with is the stain, so I thought the sugar soap was worth a try, but I have to a) buy some and b) find time to try it... So for now, I keep the stained bibs for home use and DS gets them if the washing basket is full...
