How do you get iron mold out of cotton pillow case?

I. Vinegar

A very unusual approach would be to use vinegar in removing mold stains and its smell. Vinegar is very useful and effective in removing the 'moldy' smell from clothes. Add 3/4 cup white vinegar to a load of wash.

The vinegar will remove any moldy smell from clothing. Repeat this process until all traces of mold and its smell are gone. Use detergent afterwards to thoroughly clean your clothes.

What's so interesting about this process is that vinegar itself is made through fermentation with the help of a certain type of mold.
