Musty and mouldy problem - how can I treat it
4 Answers
OK... We have just emptied our two metal containers which have had our furniture in storage for a year. The furniture container smells very very musty - and we couldnt work out why - til we realised that it was not vented.... the other one is vented but not this one.
So I have a chesterfield leather sofa - which is a bit on the green side in mould. Am assuming I can wipe it off and oil or cream the leather to nourish it. I can get the feather cushions replaced.
A mattress has a small area of green mould - so was thinking I could spray with bleach...
Now I need to unpack boxes and leave everything to air for a while.
Has anyone any suggestions for what solutions to use? Or what will take away the musty smell on fabrics etc???
Much appreciated

You can always up the strength of the milton a bit at a time until you get a result. There is a mould removing spray available from hardware shops but don't know about it's bleach content. Good luck!
