Would sandpaper be an effective way to clean these/remove mold?

We clean our bamboo utensils by hand-washing only along with other delicate dishes. We did use sandpaper to smooth out a small splinter on one of the handles without issue. I'm not sure about the mold but if it were me, I'd go ahead and try the sandpaper before throwing them away or maybe soaking them in some mold remover (or both); you've got nothing to lose, right?

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to this very same question. The only idea that I have comeup with is - number 1 - take them to the cleaners and have them steam them, or in the alternative, buy a steamer and do it yourself. Let me know if you got any other answers. I went on youtube for a video also and did not find anything to help. Miele does nothing to help. embry7808@yahoo.com

Hi. I don't know. You'll have to contact SPINCLEAN for the answer. Usually PALMOLIVE Original Dish Soap and a soft sponge is the best way to get rid of Mold, but sometimes mold has eaten its way into the grooves and you can't do anything about it.

I love this little machine, but maybe not the best choice for what it sounds like you are trying to do. As others have said, it would be real easy to over sand and ruin the profile of moldings. To remove paint from molding, I would probably use a heat gun and detail scraper. I think that will give you better ability to remove paint without damaging the profile. Additionally, if the paint is thick, the small sandpaper pads this uses will load up quickly and you will go through a lot of them.

It will get the surface clean. But if you have mold, most likely you have water damage which is unfortunate and the problem will persist unless taken care of...

I'm also seeing these flake residues. Will try putting molds in dishwasher...

I have never had mold or mildew on mine, probably because we always hang it on the towel bar after each use. However, I think that it could easily be removed with a clorine solution.

I did use a mold release spray, and they were still difficult to remove at times. I've never worked with molds before though, so I don't have any experience to compare it with.

Use a buffer or a file to scatch of the surface a little before soak them with acetone. I am sure it will work

Bleach and scrub that's what I do. Comet works well with a scrub brush to get in the little grooves. Hope that helps. :) Oh and make sure you look underneath for any mold.

Very easy - they're made of durable acrylic so as long as you're not using something noteworthy for its harshness, you'll be fine. Anything like vinegar/water (or any of the "green" cleaners, hand soap, GlassPlus/Windex, etc will be fine! In fact, unless something is very messy, just a paper towel will probably work in most situations! Enjoy!

The bump can be removed and you can clean the mold out and replace it. You probably won't get it again if you hang it up to dry.

I would put down some wax paper first. I have a commercial dishwasher I run them through about 10 times to get them reasonably clean.

I use 10% bleach solution to clean mold off my boat cover, and I assume it would easily work here as well. Note that you should rinse it thoroughly after cleaning - that way it doesn't further erode the material. Good luck!

Good question! So far the only thing we have found that works to remove mold is a pressure washer.

Yes! Our RVOBlaster would be the perfect solution for that. We work with many shed companies and shed owners who have great results removing mold, heat, chemical smells from their small sheds. Thank you for the inquiry.

No, sandpaper would actually do something. This garbage just falls apart and leaves whatever you were trying to clean behind.
