How do I get rid of mold on an air bed?

twelvegrains4 asked:


I just pulled my Coleman air bed out of the garage and found mold on the cloth side of the mattress. How do I safely get rid of it without ruining the bed or its material?

    Mold forms as a result of moisture. Wash it down with vinegar and water and then dry it out in the sun or with a blow dryer.

    Get a spray bottle and use about a half cup of bleach and fill the rest with water. Spray it on and wait about 30 min.
    Wipe off the residue with a wet rag, rinsing the rag with fresh water often.

    Bleach is the cheapest method to remove mold. You can either use 1/2 solution of bleach and 1/2 water, and spray down the mattress. Once you let the bleach sit for about 10 minutes or so, wash it down with soapy water, rinsing well, thereafter letting it sit outside in the sun to dry.

    i dont suppose the cloth comes off?, if it does then just throw it in the washing machine with a good squirt of bleach, if it doesnt then inflate the bed, then spray a nice strong solution of bleach onto the bad and wipe with a sponge, then rinse it off with the hose or several buckets of water, make sure you rinse it very well because bleach will dry out the material and i will peel and crack!!!

    good luck!
