A Simple Way to Stop Mildew

We have long been passing along this formula to eliminate mildew that you can use on any washable surface.

All you do is add 1 quart of liquid laundry bleach and 1 cup of powdered laundry detergent--less if concentrated--to 3 quarts of warm water.

Scrub the solution onto the mildew-affected area, and be sure to keep it wet until the black mildew turns white (when mildew changes color from black to white, it’s dead).

Although this is a relatively safe concoction, to be certain of safety, use eye protection, wear rubber gloves and make sure there is plenty of ventilation.
