Hi Sabrena, to be honest with you I only have used the steamer on recently washed clothes & have no idea if it removes odors. You may want to ask other people who have used this steamer also, they may have an answer for you......Zoey

It removed red wine from my beige wool blazer and some of it had dried............so it's certainly worth a try. You really have to soak the dried area though. Good luck!

Possibly. It is a good general cleaner; however, I have found that it really excels with upholstery and fabrics. Still, it will likely do a credible job but will require the addition of elbow grease. There are other cleaners, containing bleach and peroxides, designed for what you want and will accomplish it with little more than simple contact. Mildew-X is a brand, or you could just use diluted bleach in a spray bottle.

No, I do not believe it can stop mold spores. It does have a waterproof membrane so it might be effective in doing so.

I would suggest bleaching first, let it dry, then use the benzarid fungicide. It will prevent future mold and mildew growth for a long time as it has on my house.

Gail, I have not tried it on mildew, but after a year of using it on poop diapers, I have 20 clean diapers that I do not hesitate to use on our toddler. I never let a stain sit though, so mildew may not come out as much.

If the fabric is washable, it should be fine for a presoak. In fact, it would best to do this. If your drapes are silk or a fabric that can only be drycleaned, it probably is not a good idea. However, since that smell will probably not come out with just drycleaning, they are pretty much ruined already,so try it and see if it works.

I bought it to help kill mildew on old books and it has reduced the mildew smell, but I also have a UV disinfectant light in the room with the books, which may be doing most of the work. Takes a lot of patience to wand over every book.

I've used this on several fabrics with sucess and if you can hold down those curtains to actually scrub them with the built-in brush, eventually you can do it. I might suggest sending them to a cleaners...that's easiest.

It should not if you follow the label on the clothing as well as the bottle of woolite. We use it for most non-dryclean articles. Always use the delicate cycle. Everything should be fine.

I would just wipe it with a soapy washcloth or Clorox wipe if it was real yucky. It's a vinyl material inside.

I use a painter's drop cloth from the hardware store. It's not cheap, but it lasts forever, doesn't get slimy, and you can even use vinegar or bleach if it mildews.

hi uee- I'd be reluctant to use this on mildewed area as an odor eliminator. my instincts are to treat the areas with an anti-microbial, then drop in a HEAVY DUTY dehumidifier for a week or two. do a search on the product and call them directly- they have an amazing customer support dept. good luck!

I have no laboratory proof that preexisting germs on the clothes are killed. I do think that clothes are protected from new infestation.

I would't because it seemed to be mostly Clorox. I have used it for removing mildew from doors etc. on my house.I bought it to use on my boat seats but it smelled so strong of Clorox that if I used it, it would cause the thread to disintegrate.

I would try peroxide, Apple cider vinegar, or bleach with a squirt bottle. A magic eraser is helpful on mildew/mold issues on other products. Thats weird that mold occurred despite the chlorination... Mine is used in a lake on weekends then tossed on a screened porch to dry for the week. Fortunately, we havent experienced any mildew/mold issues. I hope these suggestions are beneficial. Goid luck!!
