Hi,
We discovered a small leak under the kitchen sink (one of the valves needed to be tightened). We've fixed the leak, but the water had moistened the cabinet bottom somewhat.
We've now dried all that up, and we cut a hole in the cabinet bottom, and dried the area under that, cleaned it, and applied diluted Clorox bleach several times.
What I'm wondering about is that that cabinet area under the sink still smells like mildew. All of it, including the floor under the cabinet bottom feels dry to the touch.
My wife feels like we should keep the cabinet doors closed, but I've read that we should leave the doors open to get some air circulation under there. I'm also thinking that we should keep some of the windows (just above the sink area) open a bit to get more air.
What's the best way to get rid of this smell?
Thanks, Jim
P.S. We have someone coming in to see if they think that we need to do any replacements, but assuming that that is not the case, I'm wondering how we get to removing the odor....
