Hi all, 

Budget?, Newby and keep the old as back up maybe, not a fashion victim myself, shop for a secondhand one maybe?  

Cant just chuck it in the wash with a good hit of sanitizer or napisan? Then hang in the hot sun for a few days, UV rays should kill anything left over.

I thought about the Napisan etc, but I recall a forum a few weeks ago that spoke about the spores need to be killed off first before putting into the washing machine (avoid cross contamination) - I would've thought the hot water would've killed off anything lol

Mould spores are tough. A mix of oil of cloves and white vinegar wiped over the mould will kill the spores. Wiping it over again with eucalyptus oil will help clean the stain and improve the odour. All my leather grew a fine crop over the last Queensland extended monsoon.

Oil of Cloves, kills the mould spores. Spray on, wait a little time then with clean cloth and warm water wipe off affected area. 

G'day,

Car detailers use Ozone machines to kill off mold in interiors.

Jeezus, if the above don't killem off. I'd hit witha mini14 or similar. 

They use ozone machines in badly mould infected buildings too. Plastic wrap all openings, fill it all up. Croaks all the hiding cockroaches and rats too. TAFE building in Nambour needed this.
