Need help with damp, mildewed fabric
Hi all,
We are in the process of moving and resettling. On the day we moved some things into storage , it was pouring. I had a piece of fabric unfortunately in an open plastic bag inside a box It was damp when I unpacked it and had some wispy strands of mildew in a few spots. I hung it up on a porch out of sunlight. Should I just wash it with regular detergent and check it? This was specially ordered for a gift and I felt sick when I found it this way.
Thank you,

Will do. Just thought this might be the place to get a quick answer. It did put a damper (no pun intended) on the unpacking. Fortunately, there have been no more disasters but I am keeping my fingers crossed. This moving deal isn't for sissies.

You may want to hold off on putting it in the dryer until you're sure there's no mildew left. Air dry it until then to avoid heat setting any stain.
(p.s. we'll miss you up here)
