Patient's question:
How long can mold survive on clothing? What does mold hate the most?Doctor's answer:
Mold is most afraid of heat; it can die after being heated to 60 degrees for 1 hour.Regarding the survival period of mold attached to clothes you mentioned, it's hard to say. Yeast prefers warm and humid conditions, with the optimal growth temperature being between 22~36 degrees. Therefore, it's important to change underwear frequently and soak them in boiling water or expose them to sunlight when washing, which is very effective in killing mold.
