Oct 15, 2008 How to Remove Musty Odor from Jeans. If you have a progammable washer use hot water, place vinegar in the prewash dispenser, borax powder in the main wash and add an extra rinse. If you have a standard washer, run with vinegar in the wash water, rinse, then use borax in the next wash cycle, and finish with a plain water rinse.

so. i left a pair of raw jeans that had been worn, oh, probably everyday for 8 months with no washes in a pile on the floor in my room. i thought that i was going to be gone for just a few days but i ended up flying to southeast asia instead of coming home. fast forward to a year later and i come back to the house to discover that the jeans have been put in a box with a bunch of other shit and they are covered in tons and tons of white mildew. or mold. or something. so help? can i just throw them in the washing machine and get rid of it? i'm in germany and the washing machine won't go cold. the coldest setting is 40 degrees celsius. or, should i soak it in some lemon juice, vinegar and salt mixture? it's raining right now but i'm going to put them out in the sun as soon as it stops to see if that will get rid of it. but it's A LOT OF MILDEW. any suggestions or such would be much appreciated.
