If you put some Listerine onto the sponge (or wet paper towels, if you get tired of cleaning the sponge), less mold will form.

what a great idea. Had not used my paints for about a week, paints were moist, but noticed mold was growing on my cad red!Thanks for a great tip.

Foam is extremely pourous so I would say no. If water gets absorbed and doesn't dry out completely, mold can grow and you don't want your kid rolling around with mold spores. There has got to be some mats like the ones at parks out there for sale. Sorry, hope you find something soon. The weathers finally changing!

I've not had issues with mold in this pail or the larger size of this pail. I try to let it air out during washings in order to prevent mold. I also put an arm and hammer baking soda diaper pail disc in the bottom which seems to help, too.

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.

Warm water and mild soap works for me. I use the sponge with the Teflon scrubber After the pan has cooled, as soon as possible.

I know the previous person said it didn't do anything for their mold, but we had mold and it killed it IMMEDIATELY on contact. The room got too humid and mold came back, used it again and it worked amazingly (so I think it kiils mold in carpet or other things, but probably won't get rid of a shower or sink mold/mildew without scrubbing). With a dehumidifier on, it never came back. I've used it on a red couch and beige carpet and it was fine on both.

I have had it for a few months now and I live in Florida. No sign of mold or mildew yet but as Edward said. Easy to wash when the time comes.

I have had mine for almost a year and I haven't noticed any mold. It does need to be cleaned out every so often, but I just spray it down with disinfectant and rinse it off. Comes clean every time.

I have actually started noticing mold a few weeks ago. I use both daily and it took a few months to show up & it's only in the water bowl. They've since stained so I stopped using them

A bit of dish detergent and a cloth or sponge works fine...just be sure to rinse well to get soap off.

I've never had any mold problems. I usually leave them, cuffs folded, on the edge of my sink for a short while to dry, then toss them under the sink, but when I'm in a hurry, they go right under the sink. No problems, and I've been using this brand for several years now.

Use a Teflon safe sponge like scrubeez, and Dawn dish detergent. Soak for a while and then scrub.

No mold problems yet, but I've only had this for a few months. We leave it on all the time. If it were to get mold I'd put it in the dishwasher.

I wouldn't do that. I would take a moment to dry it first. I think it would take a very long time for it to dry with all the plastic "fingers" surrounding it. It would encourage mold and bacteria to grow.

Better than sponges, they never smell and I put them in the dishwasher to sterilize every night. They clean up faster because of their size.

It does not get moldy, It is stainless steel. My mother has had it for several months and all I saw was a build up of soap in the soap dish shelf. But she has not been home to clean, she has allowed relatives to use her home while she has been away and they didn't wipe anything down before they left. It is very light weight so it is easy for my 87 year old mother to pick it up and clean her shower stall.

Says on bottle "Contact with clothing, carpet, fabric, painted wood surfaces or paper may cause discoloration or damage." It's says to rise off with water after using. This is a very strong chemical and removes the worst mold. But I would test on a small area first just to make sure. Or would try diluting the chemical first with 1 part water/1 part chemical (50/50) and use the entire bottle to lessen its discoloration effects and drench the affected areas, then increase chemical in case you see no results. DO NOT MIX WITH AMMONIA.
