Mold/Mildew...How to Remove it?

[Cinderella_Babe]

Dampness somehow got into the package of my son's new "Thomas" comforter and it has quite a few mildew stains. Is there anything out there that works when it comes to removing this type of a stain from fabric? Any advice is appreciated!

Washable Apparel: First, take the clothing outdoors and brush off the mildew. Then apply a detergent to the stain and launder. If the stain remains and the fabric may be bleached in chlorine bleach, soak it in a solution of 1/4 cup liquid chlorine bleach and 3/4 cup water. Rinse and then launder. Instead of bleach, you can use salt and lemon juice and let the fabric dry in direct sunlight. Do not use bleach on silk, wool, or when stated on the label that it is not safe. Test garments in a seam or the hem for colorfastness if you are unsure.

Does mildew show up under black-light?
