    In response to "dodie11said" about her Graco stroller, I too have a mildew stain on my Graco stroller and it was a pain to disassemble the padding and hood, but you just have to unscrew some parts to get it off. I couldn't figure out how to take off the basket though. That might just have to be washed with soap and water with your hose outside. I put my strollers padding in the wash twice. The stain is still there, just not as bad. I am going to try the peroxide.

    The easiest and fool proof way that I have found to remove mold from washable fabrics is to wet the molded area with peroxide, lay the iten on grass on a sunny day. You should rewet the molded area several times as it dries. This is the best remedy I have found. I always follow up with a wash with some bleach, but the peroxide is a win win remedy.

    I have a Graco stroller. The bottom basket and the top awning do not come off. They have black mildew stains on them. Any idea how to clean it. Thank you

    I use Mean Green cleanser to remove mold from everything. It is inexpensive and works on almost everything.

    Our boat-cushion covers had quite a bit of mildew on them after a winter on the water. I tried laundry soap and bleach with no luck. TILEX mildew spray for the shower removed all the stains. I had to reapply it in several areas, but the cushions looked like new. I have tried this on several other mildew stains on fabric and it also worked.

    I've been using Oxi Clean for the past month. I've gotten every stain out. I swear by it and will not use anything else. I've even gotten old tea stains out. I was going to throw away some old baby clothes that were stained, but before I did I thought I would try using Oxi. I have now stored those clothes away for the next baby that comes around.

    The dry cleaners said it couldn't be done! I had two suede jackets with 4 years of mildew that no one would touch. I tried a medium concentration of "TKO" orange concentrate and sprayed it right on the jackets one area at a time, sponging as I went. The solution does not stain, and it smells nice!

    Add 3/4 cup white vinegar to a load of wash. It will remove sour smell and mildew from clothes. Repeat until smell is gone; then you may have to use detergent.
