How do you clean mold or mildew on upholstered furniture?

Answer

If it is synthetic or colorfast fiber you may be able to use a 5% solution of chlorine bleach. Add 1/4 cup of bleach to about 5 cups of water, mix it all up then use a spray bottle to get a small amount on a test section of the upholstered furniture, preferrably in an inconspicuous area in case it bleaches out the color. If the color doesn't bleach out, try it on a larger area and see how that works.
