How do you get a mildew smell out of a mop?

Put it in a bucket of hot water and bleach this should do the trick but make sure she rinses it throughly before use. Might be a funny pressie if you land at her house with a mop with a bow on it!! I would laugh if someone got me one. Good luck

I would also say throw it away and get a new one. But, if your friend absolutely must keep his/her beloved mop; soaking it in 1/4 cup bleach mixed in a gallon or two of hot water will do the trick.

Soak the mop in a bucket of water and some bleach then let it dry in the sun,

Make a bleach and water soak to rest the mop in for the day. Not too much bleach (not full strength!), it'll deteriorate the sponge/strings.

I think you should throw it away. You wouldn't want the mildew to spread on the floor.

Use a strong bleach solution and let it soak for a while then lay it in the sun on the patio until it dries. that should work

Soak it in bleach and hot water that should help. Tell your friend just to buy a new one.

Soak it in a vinegar and rinse!

Good Luck!

maybe, stick in a bucket with clorox for a while. i dont know just tell her to buy a new one

throw it away. especially if you have children
