How can I remove mold spots on towels and other fabric?

Damp laundry didn't get done and I have big cotton blankets, towels and even underwear which have mold spots on them. Unfortunately, they got washed and run through the drier. What can I do to remove them?

    Bleach or fire.

    The stain can be washed out. The damage to the fabric from the mold growing in the cloth and converting it to mold mycelia cannot be repaired. The cloth there is -gone- and nothing will bring it back.

    try buying a mold remover and do a spot test to check for color changes. If its a colored material you could also try spraying it with vinegar and the diluted bleach might work with whites, It's worth a try, but most of the time, they are indefinitely ruined. Sorry hun.
