So. I had a load of my very expensive shirts in. SOmeone (my step mother) took them out of the washing machine last tues and left them. So they have been sitting for a week, wet. They all smell horrible now, and have red spots on them. I assume its some kind of mildew. WTF am I supposed to do now? These are all dress shirts. All tolled, probably $2k worth of shirts with little red spots… ---

seriously, if you have expensive shirts take them to a dry cleaners…they will last longer and look better anyway. PS - you can take them to a dry cleaners, they should be able to salvage a good portion of them ---

You might have lost those clothes but have gained a valuable lesson. I take basically all of my dress shirts to a dry cleaner. It usually costs less than $2 a shirt and you don’t have to worry about ironing, shrinking, coloring, etc. ---

Why would you ever be washing nice shirts in the first place? Anyway, stupidity aside, don’t try and do anything yourself. Take them to the cleaners… a good one, not Johnny Q Shady DimSum. If anyone can get it out, they can. You aren’t going to get an answer off this website for some do it at home fix that I would even recomend on your 10/$10 undershirts. ---
