Hi
Getting ready for our second baby and dug the old ikea cot (untreated wood) out of the garage. In pretty good condition except for some damp/mildew stains. Is there anything that will get rid of them? Presume I could just clean and then sand all the wood but wondered if there was any old style receipes for removing the black stains?
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Try a weak solution of bleach and warm water on the damp stains. Rinse thoroughly afterwards."This site is addictive!"
