>>Mold is usually fuzzy or slimy, whereas mildew appears either powdery or downy. Downy mildew is yellow at first and turns to brownish yellow later on. Powdery mildew is white, and then turns yellow and black when it matures.

>>Clean the closet with bleach and wipe dry immediately. Before using bleach, test a small area to make sure your wood doesn't change color or change color too much. Hence, once wiped with bleach solution, rinse and/or wipe dry immediately. If possible, have a fan blow into the closet after cleaning.

Any ideas how to keep a dehumidifier bucket clean? I have a new (couple of weeks) unit in my shop and I noticed tonight that the bucket has some dark slime on the bottom. The "bucket" has a lot of nooks and crannies in it so it'll be next to impossible to wipe clean. It'll be a lot easier to keep it clean than clean it later.
