ok so all my furniture, my consoles, clothes that are still downstairs... everything i ever fucking owned has to be thrown out because it has mould growing in or on it
( Read more... )
As far as the clothing goes, I would imagine bleach or some stronger detergents might take that out actually. Maybe several washings. I think clothing is salvageable, but you're going to have to practically scrub the color off of it (not literally but you get the idea).
As far as video game consoles... I'm trying to figure out how mold grows on plastic, or inside of it. If anything, if it's just like ON the plastic and not attached (as in GROWING on it) try using a can of air and just spraying the consoles inside and out. Make sure you've got something covering your face and you do it outside because if I remember right it's the poisonous mold that's in your room. I'd take a look at them and see if there's a way to just blow the mold off of it, but that's only if the mold is just kinda sitting on it and not attached. If not, you might have to scrape it off, unless it's in the circuitry and then it's another story... and if it IS in the circuitry... unfortunately it'd probably be easier to replace them, if possible =/
Furniture will be a little harder to do because you can't exactly machine-wash it, so... hmm... once again I can only think of two options here, the first is... try bleach and water together, and scrub the furniture, or... you will have to get new furniture. Well, if it's furniture covered in fabric, like a couch or cushioned chair like in a living room... if it's like, hard chairs like you'd find at a dinner table or something, or cabinets, see if you can't find some sort of cleaning chemical that will kill mold and try to get it off.
Remember, if there's a will, there's a way. I'm hoping that maybe some of this will help, cause I know how bad it will be if everything is completely ruined.
Either way, I wish I could physically help, it sucks being stuck on the other side of the world... =(
i can't physically even go anywhere near that stuff- my mother won't let me because she knows even a small amount could kill me.
we wiped everything down (consoles, action figures and furniture) with mould killer/bleach
clothes some i wouldn't even mother with because i didnt wear it anyway but we're doing hot washes with vinegar- it's less harsh then bleach.
the only problem with the furniture is that it's all wood/timber and we have to wait a couple of days to see if the mould grows back- if it has it means it's all in the wood and theres nothing we can do but replace it ourselves.
insurance won't cover us because they refused to cover the initial damage from the leaks in my rooms saying: it's a BSA issue so fuck off.
either way i just feel so worthelss knowing i can't even help to try to salvage any of ym stuff and i feel so drained. and a heads up- i'll be making a bug post on the EGS forums, i'm done with it all.
