Thanks and yes, this seems like 'home'

Just got some Borax... We'll see how that works and I'll let you know...

I did OxyClean and some bleach, plus detergent (I use Era)- soak for 1/2 hour or more in hot water. Wash normally.

I never had "bad" mildew, just light, and this has worked for me.

And the winner is.... the Mules!!! 20 Mule Team Borax did it with the exception of the poly/cotton. I let it soak for a couple hours along with a liquid detergent, rinsed well and dried and it is OK!

This has been a 'real' learning experience. One of many more to come! Blessings to all!!
