Brilio.net - Raincoats that are worn continuously without drying them can cause mold to appear. This is because the raincoat is left damp. Apart from mold appearing, raincoats usually smell bad.
Mold stains on the surface of a raincoat certainly make it look dirty. Moreover, if you don't clean it immediately, the mold stain will spread further. Do you still want to wear a raincoat that is already covered in mold stains?
If you experience something similar, don't rush to throw away your raincoat, okay? Because there is an easy way to remove mold stains on a raincoat. The method was demonstrated by TikTok user @tokoserba.anda. In his video upload, this netizen only relies on one kitchen ingredient.
Curious about how?
Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @tokoserba.anda on Sunday (16/6), one kitchen ingredient used is vinegar. To do this, pour enough vinegar onto a dry tissue. If you don't have tissue, you can replace it with cloth, OK?

No need to wash it first, just put the raincoat on a flat, hard surface like a table. Mark where the mold stains are, OK? If so, rub the mold stains on the raincoat using a tissue soaked in vinegar.

Just one rub, the mold stain will immediately fade away by itself. Once it has been rubbed evenly, let the raincoat sit for 30 minutes or an hour. The goal is for the vinegar to work optimally to remove mold stains on the raincoat.
After leaving it for 30 minutes to 1 hour, the mold spots on the surface of the raincoat appear to fade. Not without reason, as reported by thespruce.com, the acid content in vinegar is thought to be able to stop the growth of mold. If your vinegar stock is running low, you can replace it with lime or lemon juice.
Next, rinse the raincoat with plain water. Then dry the raincoat in the sun until dry. As a result, the appearance of the raincoat will shine like new again.
