Is this item mildew resistant or treated against bacteria? Thanks!

It seems to be. I don't remember seeing it written on the packaging but I am not having any problems with it. I wash it occasionally and is still like new I am very pleased with it. I do not have mildew in my house either.

Depends on your climate - we had rainy days for about a week and when I brought it in the wooden post part has started to mildew (it was hanging in the shade of a tree). The woven part was fine. I just wiped bleach over the wood and white rope bits to end any mildew- it came out about 80%- still looks a little spotted. I always bring mine inside when not in use now!

The bristles are plastic and it seems pretty open, so while you could get away with putting "clean wet knives" into it, I would worry about mildew. It doesn't say anything about having any antimicrobial properties so while you wouldn't likely damage the block, I wouldn't do it myself.

It is made of nylon so it won't hold bacteria/mildew like cotton. Also it works great. Has little loop at one end so that you can hang it to dry quickly.

I haven't noticed any mildew or mold around the edge, but we have it inside. We have 4 medium sized dogs and a cat that use it, and we fill it up every other day or so. I wash it out once a week with soap and water, but it doesn't visibly need to be cleaned.

Hi there. The wicker is coated so I don't think mildew is an issue- it has not been for me. There is not a liner. This could be the only issue if you were planning to keep it for years and years. I've had mine for awhile now and it is still holding up, though the inside is almost a white paper-like material, but I think the breathability makes it so that mildew isn't an issue (or hasn't been for me). Yes, you are correct on the depth and width.

"mildew-resistant" -yes- as opposed to "mildew-proof"-no.... But we have an unusual situation. We have an old house with a window over the tub, designed well before showers were installed in homes. Now of course we have a shower with the tub. The window needs to be covered, the covering will get wet, but the curtains do provide privacy and do protect the wooden window frame. Our area is also very humid. The inexpensive price allows me to replace these as needed. These curtains are a tough product to find these days, and I'm grateful they exist.

I have 2 of these racks and love them! One of them is used in Florida, where it is humid, and we have not seen any mildew/mold. Have used it for 4-5 years. There is a coating of plastic on the rods.

Same thing happened to me. Pretty disappointing given it was advertised as mildew resistant.

I bought an air purifier from Hammacher Schlemmer for $300 and have not had downy mildew since. Lots of fans help also.

I use distilled white vinegar too sanitize and prevent mildew. Usually, I will put a tablespoon in and fill with water and let sit for an hour and lightly rinse.

Hello! The breathable polyester mesh fabric dries quickly and resists both mold and mildew.

Mildew resistant , No. Washable , Yes , but only to wipe with a rag or sponge from time to time . Not to be washed in a washing machine or hand washed . Is a good conversation piece though .

I've had the product for over a year now and while I don't live in an area that has high mildew, so far it seems to be resisting mildew as promised. Please note that I only have the chair and cover out in my yard during summer, by late fall I move it all into storage.

Never had any mildew issues, but my daughter complained it hurt her hiney so we replaced it with a softer bath mat.

I've had it 6 months. It's been to countless locker rooms and stored in a plastic bag in a tote during transport. Hasn't accumulated mold or mildew at all. If it did, which I don't think it will, it would probably wipe right off. I'd use a little cleaning vinegar if it's stuck on. Hope this helps!

It should take off mildew easily with or without bleach. As long as the cleaner is okay with plastic it should not be a problem.
