I have mold growing on pieces of furniture in my house, antiques and others. How do I get rid of the mold?

Antiques
young61021 asked:


I really don’t want to get rid of the antiques, and some I won’t. But how do I get rid of the mold growing. It is even growing on the window sills. The only thought that I have (besides water and bleach-and I am AFRAID to try it on the wood) is to get central air. Does insurance cover this, and is there any hope out there. All we have are antiques passed down from the 1800’s, I could care less about the rest. What do I do?

We currently have a dehumidifier running (non-stop) in the basement and are going to get another one this weekend. With the weather how it has been, hot and rainy and extremely humid, that’s the cause. I have every window open in the house-so the air is circulating. Today I cleaned most of it with bleach and water. I just hope that it stays away. Would central air work for future summers?

    Mold is very dangerous to you. Don’t inhale it or be around it. It will cause you bad health problems.

    The cheaper alternative is dehumidifier they make different sizes and they do the window sills too and have to run it often the.

    The right idea after cleaning with odor.
    An oscillating fan and dehumidifyer lysol spray or febreeze can help with light soap and bleach get some air moving around.
