Brush off any loose mold. Immerse the garment in a diluted bleach solution (a tablespoon in a gallon of water) and rinse thoroughly. Set outside in the sun to dry on a drying rack or clothesline. Be extremely careful with the bleach so you don't spill and damage your fabrics. If that doesn't completely remove the mildew, try again with a stronger solution (like 2 tbsp. per gallon) and repeat the process.
An alternate solution to try, especially if you think bleach will damage the fabrics, is hydrogen peroxide.
Mildew is a form of mold. So you will need to use mold removal methods to get it out. I suggest chlorine bleach and very hot water. Best of luck
