    Mould on cloth breast pads?

    While on holiday, my fave BPs must have been packed away wet and forgotten, and now have little black flecks on the centre, looks like mould. Anything I can do to get rid of it, or will I have to chuck em?

    I think someone said those milton tablets work to get mould stains out?

    Give them a good soak in napisan or something like that, wash and hang out overnight. Try and get sun on them also.

    Hi hon, mould is my 'thing' so if they were mine I'd throw them, plus I know you are really handy with your sewing machine and can probably whip up replacements in 5 mins BUT you can get the mould out for sure, napisan (or bleach if the fabric is white/cream) and I woudl make sure they do get a full day of bright sun before I wear them again.

    The fabric is pink. It's bamboo velour. They are my fave fave favourites. I could make more, but these ones are so special it would never be the same. I'm having a bit of a cherished "mould" moment over them... if they weren't over my nips I'd be OK, but my baby girl eats off that surface!

    They've already had sun, good strong QLD sun, and it hasn't done anything. I was thinking about bicarb/vinegar - to at least make sure it's dead.
