cleaning mommies

[ShellyLette]

My boyfriends sister gave us our crib today, but where it was stored it got some mold on it. It's a beautiful cherry wood and I tried basic cleaner to get the mold off but when it dries it comes back. I'm scared to use bleach in fear it will damage the paint. Any suggestions on how to get the mold off? Really don't want to buy a new crib or have to paint it.

A site called concrobium *******   (I'm not sure if you can post links here to other sites so typed it out) says they are ten dollars for 32oz... I'm presuming thats quite good... Thought I would google it as pregnancy insomnia s u c k s (its 3am in Scotland and I can't sleep :-S ) x

Its worth a try, other than that I'm not sure what I would use, I think that stuff is a Godsend for cleaning, our old flat had mould on one of the walls from a leak in the roof and we stripped it down after the leak was replaced and scrubbed the wall a couple times with it and we werent bothered by it again after we repainted it. Hope you find somethijg :-) x

Mold just scares me because my cousin got really sick from it! Sorry didnt mean to sound rude. Hope you are able to clean your crib!

I live in the u.s. I've never heard of that stuff ill look up online and see if they sell it here

It's not a lot of mold, more like mildew not really the science project mold with hairs and stuff lol. I can't really afford a crib right now so hoping this one works out..

Where do you stay? Theres a brand here in the UK (I dont know if they sell it abroad) which is Mr muscle, its a green bottle and its designed specifically to get rid of mould without damaging whatever the moulds growing on. Its fab stuff and you dont need to use a lot, we used it when we cleared out his grans old house and it was amazing, it also takes heavy nicotine stains away x

Damn.. I just got rid of a whole bottle of vodka since I can't drink and boyfriend don't drink without me!! Lol will definitely try vinegar though thank you for the tip!

The mold would make me nervous as mold spreads quickly & can cause a lot of health issues. (I personally wouldnt use it) I dont know how much you are talking about but maybe try white vinegar and/or something in the Murphy Oil product line. Then use something to dry it out completely. I wouldn't put it inside until mold is gone.

Try vinegar, or vodka, both are more natural cleaners that could get it off.
