The Cysko Kid Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Use a power washer on it and leave it out in the sun to dry. It'll blast the mold off and it'll work better after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 some black mold can be toxic - I'd wear a dusk mask, and clean it with a scraper and bleach. you need a dehumidifier..maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Post Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 My wife is all freaked out. Me of course I'm an idiot so it doesn't make any difference to me. I come home from work tired and hear of this mold that has made her sick. Her sickness is in perfect timing of her coming down with a sinus infection that going around at her work. She sees the mold and oh my god. Thanks guys but it looks like I have to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to find out what's causing the mold & eliminate that. I'm no expert, but one cause of mold & mildew can be excessive tree cover surrounding a house. Find a local expert & follow their advice. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes it does. It also makes you a smartass. That goes without saying. I have green mold on the side of my house. Just the north side. Guess I will need a power wash...fair to say. My neighbor says it is some shit that has come up from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 This is mythical and deep ... Truly beautiful. A man asked an American Indian what was his wife's name. He replied, "She is called Five Horses". The man said, "That's an unusual, beautiful name for a wife. What does it mean?" The Old Indian answered,"It is an old Indian name. It means ..."

Beretaair83 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Not an expert, but Ill take on the low hanging fruit. Lactose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose. Is your impurity possibly one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
