What is the best way to clean up mold? My shed developed a leak and
everything inside is now covered with a greenish, powdery mold. I've
patched up the leak and started wiping down things with rags moistened

with
Clorox. When that's done, I wonder what else I should do. I have a
portable dehumidifier, a space heater and some powerful fans. I recall
seeing (here I think) that I should acquire a UV device to kill any

remain
spores.

Any and all ideas appreciated.


For an outside shed, you've done enough.


Not if makes my wife cough to enter it.

It makes my wife cough to enter it.

The great outdoors can't and shouldn't be cleansed of mold.


It turns out that the very unused of late car with a sunroof is now a car
with a sunroof that's full of mold.


Hmm, how did we get from shed to car?
Is there a car in the shed?

Mold grows on just about everything outdoors.
When you wiped down the interior with bleach I think
you should have gotten the interior of the shed down to
normal levels.

Mold likes darkness and moisture.

If you take the contents out into the sun and ventilate
you should be okay.

HOWEVER, with a wife involved...
