The room it will go in stores plants in winter, so gets quite humid. Will this cause any mold or mildew problems on this screen?

Bamboo is highly resistant to water, so probably as good as you are going to get.

I would think that as long as there is open air above the screen there shouldn't be a mold build up.

Although I really like this screen and it meets my needs beautifully, I'm not sure it's what you would want in a humid environment. It's wood and I would be afraid it might swell or mildew.

Mine is indoors. However it has developed a few small areas of mold inside, which can be removed with a dilute vinegar solution (5 tbsp to pint of water). I would think that this might be more of a problem in a high humidity environment. You might use a bucket(s) of dehumidifying crystals to reduce the humidity.

According to the folks at Kanberra the product will freeze and stop working, however mold/mildew also will stop growing/forming in freezing temperatures. When it warms up the product will thaw and start working again with no problems.

The screen is a nice one but since I don't have anything planted in the planter, water collects there. I will probably drill holes in the planter so water doesn't collect there but I would imagine mosquitoes will prosper there if I don't do something about it.

I bought this for the lounge at school and yes I think it gets mildewy. It is hard to take apart to clean because it sticks!

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.

I threw mine out right away and I just make sure it is always facing down when not in use as to not collect moisture and grow moldy. I have had mine for 4 months and all is great.

I used the dispenser in both summer and winter. No mold or mildew in the past year. My kitchen where the water machine is kept is not air conditioned and still no mold. We're happy with our system. Much easier to use than always using the small table model. Some keep that model in the refrigerator. We store water in 1/2 gallon Ball canning jars. That way we always have clean water for cooking and coffee. Oh, when we go out of town for more than a day or two, we empty the machine completely. Also, we ran white vinegar through our water machine before installing the Zero water system. This cleared the system so the Zero water would actually be zero. Hope this is helpful.

i had no issues, it is sturdy and strong, however i am facing a n issue on the scree, the screen shows two moisture lines due to folding gaps of the front cover. they can be cleaned, however i think it is due to the mateiral used to protect the screen.

No mildew. I take the sponge filter out after each use. It has worn out pretty fast but I use the fan alot at work 8 hours a day 5 says a week. Best buy ever.

I have only used it 7 times so far and have not seen any mold issues so far. However I can see now mold can occur after prolonged use if the steam is blocked. I imerge the bamboo pot in my stainless steel pot with water but i do not cover the stainless steel pot to allow the steam to escape.

No, I have used these for years and I always wring it out and store it wet in the tube it comes with and it won't mildew. Since it's stored moist, it's ready to use quickly and for small touch ups or to clean the windshield. I had one get mildew and that was only when I tried to wash it once with an alcohol-based product (I really don't recommend that!)

I have had no problems with mildew. I is a very good mat. Only problem is it could have been a little bigger.

I've not seen any mold issues so far, but then I've only had it for a few months. I'm sure it is adding to the humidity in the basement, but then the basement was already a humid place.

I would say that you have a high humidity issue. Watering too often and high temperatures can be deadly combinations. Here is a link that might help. Everything depends on the environment and if water is standing after watering this too can cause mold if the humidity is high. Here's the link. I hope this helps! Best of Luck! http://www.ehow.com/way_5269080_house-plants-remove-mold.html

I have 2 of these shower seats since 2010 & have not had any issues with mold or mildew. Hope this helps.

This item is intended for indoor use. I would expect it to deteriorate quickly in a humid environment.
