why, yes i AM looking for sympathy here...

[frith_in_thorns]

Right, I'm back at uni now, and should be revising hard, but I'm not yet, because MY FRIDGE IS FULL OF MOULD.  Someone shut the door of it, which I had purposely left open since we have to switch the power off before we leave.

So now I have to clean it, while trying not to be sick.  I HATE mould.

Urgh.

*Hugs back*

Thank you!! And I was planning on buying washing up liquid tomorrow, so I'm having to use lemon shower gel on a sponge to get rid of it... D:

Mould!! EEK!! *runs around with arms in the air*

Who was the villain who did the dastardly deed of closing the refrigerator door!!

Well, you have all of my sympathy! *pets frith_in_thorns*

Have fun cleaning out the mould!

[frith_in_thorns]

It was probably one of the cleaners :( My whole room smells of it now, it's horrible, but it's too cold to open the window :(

Great start to the term, this! :P But thank you for your sympathy :)

Love your icons! ^_^

But seriously, you need to be careful. Clean out the mould with at least a 10% bleach solution, leave it on the surface where the mould is for at least 15 minutes before wiping it away. We always have a hard time getting rid of the mould at work...it's a pain!

[frith_in_thorns]

I don't have any of that stuff - I just wiped it out with a sponge, hot water, and, um, lemon shower gel :P I'm going to get some cleaning spray tomorrow, but outside is currently disgusting weather.

Yuck yuck! Make sure you wear a face mask as the spores can do *things*

I'm now thinking of millions of crawling microbes with big pointy teeth and eyes...

[frith_in_thorns]

No face mask, I'll have to run the risk of flesh-eating-lung-mould :(

...now there's a fic idea... ;)

[x_varda_x]

OMG! That's nasty! (I hate bugs and creepy crawly microbe things)

When I cleared the mould from my wardrobe and window I had a cough for a few days, and I was wearing a facemask. That was probably psychological from the whole 'ew' factor...

Yuck, you have my sympathy! *hugs*

[frith_in_thorns]

Thank you! *hugs back*

Oh, that takes me back! I lost my favourite sweatshirt that way - Mighty Mouse could not stand up to the mighty mould!

Bleach is a good (and reasonably cheap) way to clean up any remnants - here's hoping the weather settles down so you can crack a window open and freshen the place up!

[frith_in_thorns]

I've bought cleaning spray with bleach in now, and cleaned it very vigorously - sadly my room now stinks of the bleach ;)

And hi! Nice to have you around my LJ! :)
