How to Clean Musty Acetate Fabric

Acetate fabric, created to be a synthetic version of silk, is now used in blends with other fabrics. Mildew is less likely to grow on clean clothing than on soiled clothing. Since acetate is fairly resistant to mildew, if your fabric smells musty, it is likely from mildew growing on soiled fabric. Washing acetate isn't difficult, although you shouldn't toss it in the washer with regular laundry; you'll need to hand wash the fabric.

Hand wash the acetate fabric with mild detergent and warm water, about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the fabric to soak for a few minutes to break up any stains and then gently rub the fabric together. Avoid harsh scrubbing because it might damage the fabric.
