shelf mo(u)ld cleaning

updated fri 8 feb 02

 

m markey on thu 7 feb 02


Hi!

I suggest using TSP or a warm-water diluted bleach solution, to remove mould
from a shelf or other surface. Be aware that some shelf surfaces, such as
painted or treated surfaces, may not respond favorably to these chemicals.
Test the solution by dabbing a far corner of the shelf first, to see if the
cleaner is kind to your shelf.

Note that the nasty organic stuff is spelled "mould." This is the spelling
my college biology professor, a mould specialist, insisted it be written.

The ceramic-forming device Joyce is talking about is correctly
spelled--"mold." So much for semantics! Back to the clay table!

Best wishes!

A wee bit chillier than last night--hovering between below freezing and just
plain freezing!

Hi All, Hubby works for a glass company, in charge of bottle moulds. He, as
well as the Oxford Dictionary, insists that BOTH are spelled mould. Cher

Thank you for the mould comments,
I will use a warm bleach solution to clean it off. It sounds as if this is a
common problem.
As for the mold/mould point now we all know another spelling impared
clayarter is here.

Was your college bio prof British or Canadian by any chance?
I attended an international school when I was in high school and
several of my teachers were Canadian and British. My husband
still teases me about my free and easy use of "u"s in words...
Colour is still my preferred way of spelling that word too...

*sigh* there are so many things that I miss about Europe...

Andi.
homesick again...
