How to Get Mildew Off Outback Coats
- 1). Hose down the jacket with regular water and then scrub at the mildew with a clean, damp sponge. Avoid using detergents since they could break down the oilskin's treatments. The water pressure of the hose combined with the sponge should remove most mildew from the coat.
- 2). Mix 3 parts warm water with 1 part white vinegar in a spray bottle. White vinegar is an effective cleaner and mold remover. The water dilutes it so it won't damage the oilskin.
- 3). Spray the mildew stains and allow the solution to sit for a minute. Scrub the mildew with the scrubbing sponge. Repeat until all the stains are gone.
- 4). Hang up the coat to allow it to dry completely before putting it away.
