Mold growing in antique wardrobe?
Question:I have a wood antique wardrobe that I use as a linen closet.
It has developed mold on the inside of the wardrobe even though there is none on the outside or any other place in the house.
what ***natural*** remedies are there? i.e. least toxic for humans to breath in or touch.
I can't stand to breath in bleach. Any natural remedies out there??
Answers:
You can change the PH of the mold which kills it. Make a Baking Soda paste. Water and Baking Soda. Allow it to dry on the mold. when dry vacuum away. to prevent it from coming back, there is a product called Damp Rid. You can pick it up in the hardware section of most stores. Damp Rid comes in its own container and collects the moisture from the environment. you will need to pour out the water from the container periodically.
hair spray. after you have cleaned the area
Throw it out

You should seal the wood after it is clean and dry. This will make cleaning mold off of it much easier in the future.
