Has anyone seen any mold or mildew after packed?

Not at all. We moved from CT to Costa Rica and experienced no mold or mildew.

We have been using this type of bag for years and have never seen mold or mildew

I've not had any problems with mold or mildew. I followed the instructions and mine have been packed away in my garage for 6 + months now with no problems.

This is my 2nd set over the past 3 years. Both were exposed to moisture, I've never had a problem with mold or 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.

I haven't experienced mold and I put very wet towels on the rack several times. It's been several months and the rack is holding up very well.

I've had mine for about 6 months as well and have not seen mold growing in it or on it. I think it's best to leave it out to dry and not let it sit in water after use.

I use my everyday during Cross Country season and the only time i ever encountered mildew was when i left just a little watter on the bottom, completely sealed, and left it there for a little under a week. So, Yes, it does mildew.. but not easily. Just clean it and you'll be good

Yes but send them out for testing. It is my understanding there are all kinds of mold that can show up in the test sample. It can be harmless or harmfull. You cannot tell by just looking at it.

Yes, they dry completely since the bottom is ventilated. I have not encountered any mildew/mold buildup, but it would still be wise to clean it once a month or so.

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.

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.

YES! Same experience here: it came already moldy, unopened and this, according to Amazon, is a non-refundable item -- SO BEWARE.

I haven't had any problems with mold so far... And have had it for a few months now.

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 only used it for over a month and haven't seen any mildew stains yet, not sure how long though.

My best guess is that something in the bag was a little bit damp when you packed it. It doesn't take much water to create mildew when a package is sealed up for a long period of time. I think that if you could really get all of the air out of the bag, you wouldn't have the musty mildew odor. But it isn't really possible to get ALL of the air out of the bag, so there you have it.

We did have a strong odor, mildew, mold, something like that and we took it outside to see if it would air out. We ended up sending it back for exchange.

mine (4 pack) came in flat white boxes just with a white/black stickers, they were in the usual silver individual wrapping inside the box though .... I'm nervous now where they came from since they are not lasting more than 2 weeks and there is a mold/mildew smell coming from them. I bought it a few months ago, the first one was fine but the last 2 are doing this smell. I doubt Amazon will even let me return them. Ticks me off.
