Leviticus 13:54-59

54 he must order the area to be washed and put the clothing in a separate place for seven more days.

55 The priest will examine the area again after it is washed. If it doesn't look any different and the mildew has not spread, it is still unclean. It must be burned, whether the area is on the outside or the inside.

56 If the priest sees that the area is pale after washing, he will tear it out of the clothing or the leather.

57 However, if it shows up again, you must burn the clothing or the leather article.

58 But if the area disappears from the woven or knitted clothing or any leather article when it is washed, wash it again, and it will be clean.

59 "These are the instructions for deciding whether mildew in clothing that is woven or knitted from linen or wool or in any leather article is clean or unclean."
