Black mold in fridge?

Merrill asked:


I am a college student, and I unplugged my fridge to defrost it when I went home for winter break like I was told to, but I shut the door before I left and forgot about an open jar of mayo in there. When I got back, there was black mold spotting the inside door and the bottom two racks. I have cleaned it out for the time being with dish soap and water, but I don’t have any money right now to buy bleach. I am planning to bleach it after I get paid next week, but in the meantime, is it okay to store food in there?

I have since thrown out the mayo, if anyone was wondering.

As detailed at drywallinfo.com despite repeated cleaning with bleach, mold kept coming back. This video gives an overview of how I corrected the situation to remove the mold and prevent future mold. As a side benefit, I reduced my heating costs as well.

What is the best treatment for mold on a hardwood floor?

greece asked:


Just moved into a house and we are finishing the hardwood floors. The house was carpeted and when we ripped out the carpets we found what looks to be mold stains on sections of the hardwood floor. We have sanded the floors with an orbital sander but the stains didn’t come out. I have heard that using a bleach treatment might work. Are there any products out there that will get rid of stains on hardwood floors. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

We are undergoing a major renovation at our home. Our contractor had put the walls up but not a roof yet. We had very heavy rainfall that night and water was streaming down our kitchen, laundry, and bathroom walls. Nevertheless, we are dealing with mold now because of the water damage. Our contractor said he cannot do anything about it until we get to the drywall stage which could be another few weeks because of all the inspections required before we get to that point. I’m really scared to even go in the bathroom for fear my 9 month old daughter will get sick. Our contractor admitted it was his fault and that he will fix it. He wants to put bleach on it and KILZ? over it. I don’t think that is going to fix the mold problem. What is the BEST way to get rid of the mold problem for good? Thank you.
