Title: mould in kitchen??
Post by: Hodgies 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?(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/9d4ab98b17ffbed5cb0d278409692c93.jpg)

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.
