    Maybe it wasn't totally dry when it was put back on the bed?

    Sun can work wonders.

    It is probably that it is dead and there is just the stain there now.

    exit mould remover try it in a small spot to make sure it wont bleach we had this great big playpen mat at playgroup that got left ina puddle and was covered in mould the girls were already to chuck it out I said nope exit mould so I hung it on line sprayed the mould after 5min rinsed it with a hose and let dry in sun, so anyway try it can't hurt as I said spray a little in a area you wont see to check first though

    DD had an outfit once that got mould on it (my fault I didn't realise that it was in a plastic bag). To get the mould off I made a paste of napisan and put it on. Left it there a couple of hours then washed. Got the mould out and it still looks great

    I had mould on a pillowcase once - what got it out was repeated washing, over and over...like 15 times, maybe more, I honestly lost count.

    It's also worth getting a bottle of caneston anti-germ rinse.

    I use straight bleach on mouldy things, but only on whites. Its the only thing thats worked for me!
