forgot load of clothing in the wash and 2 days later had mildew on a couple of shirts. Is there anything that will take it out?

Mildew is tough to get out, if the shirts are white, wet the spots with water or a stain remover then sprinkle Oxiclean on them and let set 45 min. to an hour then wash, I have had to repeat these steps a couple of times. I hope this helps.

Usually if you rewash it with a good detergent, like Tide, it will take out the mildew. If it is white, then I would add Clorox to the water and wash it with Tide.

if they are white clothes bleach them, but doesn't the mildew on the clothes make you sick?

You can try bleach or bleach alternative. I use Tide with bleach alternative. If you have real dark spots then you may not get them out.

no. you can either throw it away, or dye it another color
