what do you mean?? I know that for mold stains blaik dots I was told to put it outside in the sun and keep pouring salt and lemon juice on it, it worked and the stains faded. are you referring to that type or another type?? if another maybe try some stain remover. if it's all white, bleach should remove it...

Yeah thats what it is. It's an off-white tablecloth with some embroidery on it so I wouldn't try bleach. I already tried stain remover and a very hot load, and it didn't help at all. It's such a shame because it's a gorgeous tablecloth and I've got matching napkins but I'd have to throw it out if I can't manage to remove the stain.
Thanks for the salt/lemon juice tip, I'll try that...

I hope it'll work, I think I did it after washes don't remember though... I saved baby outfits that way.

You might wanna try something called Tilex for mold/mildew. I think the hardware stores sell it.
