If I wash clothes in bleach, that were mildewed are they safe to wear?

Question:

My work uniform was in my trunk for one week and it rained inside the trunk causing mildew on the uniform. I soaked them for 30mins and washed them in bleach. They SMELL fresh but I'm afraid to wear them again on my skin. Is it safe?

Answers:
If you are in doubt, wash them in normal wash again. let it soak for awhile. This should remove the bleach smell and any residual bleach. Bleach in normal use would not harm. My grandma used them when I was small for stained napkins. I don't think it hurt me. I know of people who still swear that cleaning stained teacups by soaking in weak bleach solution is best.

So the choice is yours.

The bleach should have killed all the mildew. As long as the signs of mildrew are gonw you should be ok to wear them
