<p>Dear Marie,</p>
<p>I have found that the best way to remove mould off any type of fabric is to soak the item in COLD water with a good quantity of table salt.

<p>I have saved a friends pure silk wedding dress and many other formal dresses that had severe mould stains caused by floodwaters! </p>

<p>Dear Maree,</p>
<p>You don't mention if it is handmade felt or a commercial hood.I have experience with handmade felt. It is easily washed in wool wash gently by hand,let it soak a little to dispel the dirt ,rinse in same temperature water then remove excess water</p>
<p> by blotting with a dry towel heavily and then re blocking and steaming as needed.Hope that is helpful!</p>
