Try lemon juice and salt. I've had some luck getting rid of rust stains with that. Also, putting it out in the sun with the lemon and salt might help. Or just lemon and sun. Sharon

Since the weather's been rather rainy here lately it stayed there a while, and it must have had something wet up against it. Anyway, the other day I took it out and put it in the wash and didn't notice until I hung it out that it was mouldy - it has big patches of black red and yellow speckles all over the back. Obviously washing hasn't done anything. Any suggestions for getting rid of the mould, or am I just going to have to make a new chemise? The chemise is actually a linen-cotton blend, a fairly sturdy fabric.
