Out of Bounds ... this is WAYYYYYY out of bounds but need advice.

I have a problem with mould in one of my cupboards. It is a white snowy mould that vanishes on contact with a cloth but its where I keep the sticks during winter and I am worried about the stuff.


Can any of you guys tell me how to treat it and how to prevent it.

use a dehumidifier?

Get plenty of fresh air into the room,also make sure your bag and clubs are as dry as they can be before sticking them in the cupboard.

you need to kill the mould that is still in there, you don't get rid of it just by wiping. there will still be spores.

one of the many mould removers or good old bleach, but you need to get into all the crevices. if you can get the cupboard out check the back - and the wall.

Could be a bit of rising damp.

Buy a new hoose.

That way the clubs will be safe

You do definately need to kill the spores that are present. The best way would be to steam clean the walls, which if using the right machine would kill of any bacteria.
"good old Bleach" will do the trick though, but you do need to make sure that you get into all the cracks as it will keep coming back if you don't.
Try and get some air moving through also as this will aid the drying.

I had mould in my ensuite shower room Andy and no matter how much we scrubbed it off, it always came back. Until, that is, we used this......

We gave it a spray with this and absolutely no sign of it since.
Oh and try to keep the place aired too.

If it's a fluffy white colour it's almost certainly salts coming out of a damp wall and not mould. Insulation and ventilation is the way to go.

Mould is usually black, as others have said improve ventilation,that usually works.

We've got a dehumidifier and it worked a treat. Bleached the mouldy areas and everything is hunky dory now

Thanks for all the replies folks. I feel I have enough to go on and make my clubs hibernation area warm, cosy and mould free.
