I had my babys stroller in storage..got it out today and its got black mold spots all over?

How do i get rid of these black mold/mildew spots??? it was in a stoage shed for the past 6 months...its my daughters graco Pooh stroller. ive taken it apart..and im laundering it right now(hot water/oxi-clean and laundry soap)

..if that doesnt work what else can i do? that was an expensive stroller!

Update:

Its only on the fabric. nowhere else..like in the creases where it was folded up..i let oxi-clean soak on it..i have some clorox ultimate care bleach..and my purex has a color safe bleach..soi im hoping it comes clean!

Update 2:

i got it all out! bleach works well!! even on color! thanks!

    Use bleach on the fabric parts. It may fade the patterns, and the mold stains might not fade away, but it will kill the mold.

    Use a bleach wipe to clean the other parts of the stroller. Rinse it well.

    Unless you're going to wash all the material in hot water and bleach, then, throw it out and buy another. Mold can be a dangerous allergen, and very difficult to kill completely. It just isn't worth it.

    bleach get s rid of molds, so maybe try a colorsafe. even if you are washing it with an oxygen cleaner, i would still run it through with the bleach just to be sure, you don't want to take chances when it comes to your little ones

    What you've done should kill the mold. Unfortunatley though most mold stains. At least you know that it can't harm her though once it's been washed. It just might not look so good. Sorry I couldn't help more.

    i think that the oxi clean is a good thing to use. thats a great product.

    if that doesnt work just sopt treat it and wash again.
