Re: [a/s] Mildew??
Karen, I painted all the old wood surfaces I could find. I even
painted the steel drawers that smelled funny. I took off the fabric
from the foam and washed them carefully. I sprayed bleach solution on
the foam cushions. Then rinsed. It stills smells a little musty.
Yesterday I noticed an area where Don lifted up the carpet. It was old
wood. I will paint that soon and rip up all the carpet if I have to.
The wood has not been wet, just old and smelly from the damp air. If an
old dresser smells bad, you can use shellac; anything that seals it
works fine. You may have to shellac the cupboards inside too. Me too.
