mould on suitcases after home brew spillage

a_j_mair

Well i had a go at making some homebrew in an easy to use kit with plastic cube. Used the wrong sugar :doh: and the cube expanded so much it burst and covered everything in the cupboard in home brew :embarasse

It has all been cleaned and stuff thrown out. gave the suitcases a clean and all was ok

Was in the loft getting xmas tree :xmastree:last night and the suitcase are covered in mould again

any ideas how to clean them properly to avoid the return of the mould, only ever used the suitcases once so hoping they can be rescued


thanks for any help

and

You could try dissolving a couple of your campden tablets (came with the kit?) in a pint of warm water and see if that works.

Is this witchcraft or do you have to actually apply it to the suitcases?

And here's me thinking that witchcraft would do it.
You should apply to be a contestant on Mastermind.

If these are of the standard woven fabric type, your best bet is to clean with a mould cleaner (to kill the spores let it soak) rinse and dry completely.

Because suitcases come with nooks and crannies as well and card reinforcement (sometimes) I think cleaning might be easier said than done. As for drying....

good luck
