Will the straps mildew or mold? I know the rest is made of mesh, but I can see that the straps aren't.

I don't think so, or I wouldn't have it. It's looks like the white turns dingy, but I think the color/mix make it appear that way The handles are made of mesh too; it's just doubled. I love it! I use as a fingernail carrier. the mesh is surprising more sturdy than you might think. I haven't had it in the shower; there are too many other uses for this. I can recommend a clear pocket shower curtain that I love, http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/bluestembrands/NN708_VA_999?$thumbnail300$ [fingerhut and amazon, etc. $19, . . . ; check other sites

I haven't used it long enough to notice. Sorry, I can't be of help with this one but it's a great question.

I'm not sure if they will or not. When I went on vacation, it hung inside the shower for four days and dried as quickly as the mesh. I haven't noticed any mildew, but you could always use a mild cleaner on the straps just in case.

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.

I haven't had a problem with the mesh at all. Small holes for the mesh material. Very nice carrier!

We haven't had a great deal of luck with the mildew but it will get mold off- only if it has not gone into the actual material.

Have not had any mildew problem. Since they're made of polyester, they do not absorb moisture and should not provide a base for mildew to grow.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

The straps on my rack have been exposed to quite a lot of super cold (Michigan) weather and held up well. However, the true test is to see if they can take a Texas summer. I recently moved from MI to TX so I will have a chance to take this data point in a few months. Basically, ask me again in 4 months...

I have not seen mold on mine as of yet, I will be keeping an eye on them. I spent a lot of money for all the pieces I bought. We keep our furniture in the garage during the winter weather. With the covers on!

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!

Theoretically, but mine basically fell apart after I washed them. (The mesh is fragile compared to the stiff canvas and it pulled apart.)

Bamboo is naturally resistant to mold. I never had a problem with mold. Maybe there was something in the fabric that started to mold and left that trace on the rack.

Definitely seems to be a flaw. We didn't have a lot of issues the straps are nylon and didn't really stain.

I have had this bath stool for 3+ months and have seen no indication of mold. I do tip it to let the water drain after a shower. The padded portion also is easily removed and the top has a way for water to drain.

My 6 year old granddaughter uses our hammock all the time with no problem, we live in Florida and I have had no problem with mold. Fading however is another story, the sun here is intense and yes it does fade with time. Still a great deal for them money!

Being that the straps nonremovable makes it more difficult to clean, but they can be cleaned with cleanser/soap & water while still attached to the seat...obviously, they will be wet, but will air dry just fine. It's worth it, to have straps. :)

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms
