Cedar Chest & Mold

Jul 07, 2004 2 Replies

Inherited cedar chest with mold on the unfinished inside. Figure to sand off and be done with it, yes? Or maybe some diluted bleach wash, then sand, no? Outside has same mold but has shiny finish, don't know what kind though. It's old so I doubt if it is poly-some-sort. Has some mold on that outside as well. Question: what to use to remove that mold without changing the finish? Thanks in advance, wherever that is.

If it's old, I'd say check with a reputable antique dealer first. You might turn a valuable chest into a not-valuable chest, otherwise.

This is total overkill but read the part about bleach....

do a search on "removing mold" and I'm sure you'll find places that sell the products you will need.
