Made the mistake of storing your items in cardboard boxes? For WAYYYY too long? I did and ended up with storage mold! Find out how I got rid of it!

Yup it happened to me. Did it happen to you? You packed thinking it will only be a short while, then…. it’s not. 3 years later I had the pleasure of finding my favorite boot box. Imagine my excitement as I got to open it and….. AGH!!! Storage Mold.
I just HAD to find a way to repair my boots so I search and searched. An expensive cleaner wasn’t what I wanted so I took a few days to research. Then I came upon a WAAYYYY to easy recipe. I thought “I could use a hot second of easy” so I gave it a try. It worked! Check out the video to see how simple it is to get rid of storage mold:
Got Storage Mold? Use this simple spray!
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup rubbing alcohol
-
TEST spray on a hard to see area of your shoe or garment first. Wait 24 hours to be sure it doesn't leave mark.
-
Combine a 1:1 ratio of water to rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle.
-
Using a face mask and cloth, spray the cloth with the mixture and wipe the mold off your garment or shoe.
-
Keep spraying cloth and wiping away to remove all of the mold.
-
I put my items out in the sun during the day (bringing in at night) for two days in a row. I don't know if this had an affect but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Good Luck!
