Mold and Mildew//Mothball Odors and Stains On Shoes & other Leather items.
1. Start with one pair of shoes to try. Mix a solution of 10 parts warm water with 1 part "ATX’s Odor-Kill and Stain Remover" TM (ATX ODOR KILL).
2. Spray the 10:1 solution of ATX ODOR KILL on the outside and the inside of the shoes. Dampen a jay cloth (or something similar) and wipe off the shoes both inside and out. Rinse out the jay cloth and wring it out so that it is damp. Repeat this process taking care to especially treat the inside of the shoes.
3. Re-spray the 10:1 solution on the outside and inside of the shoes. Do not wipe off. Let them set and dry, but not near heat (a radiator, for example). The moldy smell will probably be very apparent at this time. The enzyme/microbes are on the attack and working. Wet leather also has a smell of its own.
4. After the shoes are dry, smell them. They should smell much, much better and hopefully no more treatment will be needed, if so, just repeat steps 2,3,4. Then just polish them to replenish the oils in the leather
How do I remove Mothball / Mold and Mildew on Fabrics?
Mothball / Mold and Mildew on Fabrics
Many thanks for your email. Odor Kill will do the job for you. It loves to digest mold and mildew and mothballs.
The key is that the mixed solution must come in contact with the mildew in order to digest it. If there is residual mildew that could not be reached by Odor Kill, it will not be digested and removed.
So, it will be important to get the solution as deep as possible into the fabric. Washing in the washing machine is an excellent way to do this and clean the fabrics.
Mix it 10 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle or in the washing machine. Wash in the warm water cycle. For items that cannot be easily washed in the washing machine:
Generously spray the article. Then rub it in with your hands and let dry slowly.
The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries.
After applying, check for the mildew or offending odor smell. Re apply if necessary
