mould in kitchen??
« on: December 27, 2016, 08:31:44 PM »
Hi all,
we are having a problem with mould in our camper. It is in the pullout drawer with the cooktop/stove. It happened once before and we cleaned it up well,  but apparently not well enough. Has not been used for approximately 5 months. Is there any product that I can use to give it a thorough clean out?  Thanks in advance.  Hodgies

White vinegar, Oil of clove or bleach are worth a try

Rubbing alcohol is supposed to kill it stone dead.

Oil of cloves to clean.  Then leave it a while (preferably open) till it's all dead, then clean well to get rid of the smell.  Then store with a closet camel or similar inside to soak up any damp.

I googled closet camel, but I don't think what my search bought up is the same?

No, those are the wrong ones.  The vinyl boots stops the damp absorption.  You need the ones in plastic boxes from the supermarket.

Are they inflatable, or do they arrive un-assembled and you have to put them together yourself.

Thanks guys for the tips.

Wasn't sure how I was going to fit the camel in Scarps😂

Will give it  a good clean out/air out today.

Cheers

Chlorine (bleach is watered down chlorine) is the killer of mould. Just clean it off after it has been applied. It will rust stainless.
