Any mold or mildew issues with the bamboo handle?

I have only used it 7 times so far and have not seen any mold issues so far. However I can see now mold can occur after prolonged use if the steam is blocked. I imerge the bamboo pot in my stainless steel pot with water but i do not cover the stainless steel pot to allow the steam to escape.

I have not had any problems with mold or mildew. The handle dries out when you have finished making the rice. I am really happy with this rice maker!

I plan on buying these and I think the answer is to thoroughly clean the handle and the pocket it fits into and fill it with enough clear silicone caulk to seal and glue it for good. If you're concerned about contamination I don't think it'd be an issue as the caulk is almost 100% silicone when dry and will be on the inside of the flexible spatula piece anyways.

Mine did mildew when some damp washcloths were tossed into the bottom. In addition, the moisture caused our bamboo floor under the hamper to mildew. I still love this hamper, but the honest answer to your question is yes it will mildew.

I haven't noticed any mold or mildew on the inside of it. Usually when I wash it I keep it closed so no dirty water goes in then when I dry it I open it back up and put it hold side down.

I'm not pleased with mine. I had more than a few refuse to seal no matter what I did. I'm in a desert so I don't know about mold/mildew.

We live in Utah where we have next to no mold problem so that is not an issue. However I was raised in the northeast where it is a big problem. I would suggest wiping it out every few weeks according to your humidity, which is the big factor. Sorry I can't help more. Have a good day.

Bamboo is naturally resistant to mold. I never had a problem with mold. Maybe there was something in the fabric that started to mold and left that trace on the rack.

Mine is holding up fine. No mold issues, but I do have a bathroom fan. I wash it regularly, but the first time it did shrink an inch or two in length. It is a nice heavy weight and I would buy it again for the elegance it provides.

No haven't had mine quite that long. BUT if you haven't taken it apart and cleaned it i would. Sometimes the gas bulbs/whip cream can leave residue and buildup. Might be causing the handle to stick open. If you can't fix it just learn to love lots of whipped cream :P

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

I haven't had any issues with mold/mildew. I switched to a mat but my daughter has stuck them to the wall of the shower and still no issues.

I have not had any problems with mildew, they are easy to clean. I actually use the bottom bucket for the bath toys myself.

I have never had an issue with that. I don't really use the ends often, but I fill the center section and I have never had a problem with water causing it to get moldy.

I would! I've had mine for about a year and it gets wet every day. It is starting to show mildew. If yours will be getting wet every day, sealing it would be a good idea. It's a good product but I didn't think bamboo would mildew for some reason.

The bristles are plastic and it seems pretty open, so while you could get away with putting "clean wet knives" into it, I would worry about mildew. It doesn't say anything about having any antimicrobial properties so while you wouldn't likely damage the block, I wouldn't do it myself.

No mildew, and I had one for 4 years before I replaced it, it can get soap scum and collect dust sometimes but it's very easy to clean, I cleaned it right there in the shower and used q-tips to clean the narrow spaces; a product like windex also worked well.

No mold or mildew. Still looks like new after several months use. We clean bowl after each fill, about once a week.
