I'm concerned with potential mold or mildew behind the panel if it doesn't sit flush against the wall. Do you have to take it down to clean behind it?

We had it properly sealed - it is mounted so that there is only tile between it and the wall - I am sure regular cleaning with a good bathroom cleaner will prevent mold - I am not to worried about it

pamela,you do not need to clean behind it just use a clear silicon bead all the way around the panel

I got it off an there is nothing behind the panel that requires it to be removed. It was super hard to remove too. It was a while ago but i remember being disappointed.

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.

plausible. Just cause mold is behind walls does not mean it is not airborne or spores ?toxins escaping. This is an air cell test wit h a tape lift included. What is your scenario?

Ours are perfectly flush so there may be an issue with your item. This item has worked well for us.

No mildew, and I had one for 4 years before I replaced it, it can get soap scum and collect dust sometimes but it's very easy to clean, I cleaned it right there in the shower and used q-tips to clean the narrow spaces; a product like windex also worked well.

Yes, we have ours against a wall and the moisture comes out of the bottom front where the filters are. We love our, does a great job.

I bought th Sanus LL22, low profile...Until I install a recess utility box behind the screen, I used the spacers included to move the panel another inch away from the wall. I did not need a tilt feature on the mount so this one sufficed fine

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.

I am currently using mine just on the floor and it seems to be just fine. I've been using it this way for a few months now. I would, however, suggest that you move it every once in a while and maybe clean under it to prevent moisture buildup/mold. (I haven't had a problem with moisture/mold with this mattress, but a bed frame would prevent that by leaving an air pocket under the mattress.) Hope this helps!

I haven't cleaned it. You would need to unscrew the front grid, but it doesn't look too difficult.

We live in Utah where we have next to no mold problem so that is not an issue. However I was raised in the northeast where it is a big problem. I would suggest wiping it out every few weeks according to your humidity, which is the big factor. Sorry I can't help more. Have a good day.

Sorry, I can't help. When my old drainboard's plug became really ugly and I was unsuccessful in finding a replacement, I cleaned it well so that I knew it wasn't harboring mildew or bacteria. I have put the components into the dishwasher with good results.

Hi, yes, sort of, i atfached a headboard with drywall screws. Its not clean but its behind the bed so it is not seen. You do damage the frame with the screw holes so if you decide to rearrange it may be unsightly. Good luck !!!

No, and that is a problem. The little screen under the downspout can be taken off but it is difficult to clean the urn through it. I use a power washer but you cannot reach all areas of the interior. The inside becomes coated with black mold and you cannot get it out 100%.

No. The back panel serves to provide overall strength to the cabinet. Further, it prevents the wall and wires behind the cabinet from being seen from the front.

I've been using mine for over a year, maybe two. Mine has mold on it. It varies so its not like the whole thing is molded. So far it hasn't affected the sturdiness. It doesn't really bother me but I was under the impression this would not happen.
