    If you used the dryer to dry the shirt it could be difficult to remove the mold stains, but I have had the best luck with hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice, then sunlight. It may take several times (once dry reapply). Both of these products (and the sun) will "bleach" out colors also so get the whole shirt wet. If you have tried everything else try this.
    In the future (next time this happens) wash the garment as usual and LINE DRY in the sunshine to kill mold.

    Washing it in Hot, Soapy water should have done the trick. Are you sure its mold? Try detergent with bleach in it.

    Spray undiluted white distilled vinegar liberally onto the affected areas. Vinegar kills mold. Let it sit for several hours, ideally outside in the sun. Then, use warm, sudsy water and 1/2 cup borax to wash it. Rinse it and let it dry in a clean, dry place.
