Furniture Repair — MOLD AND MILDEW
October 29th, 2008 . by admin
In humid, hot south Georgia, we have all seen furniture with mildew or mold on it. According to The Furniture Doctor in Augusta, GA, the best way to fix this problem is a two-part solution.
First, mix up a batch of Murphy’s Oil Soap. This item is available at any hardware store, or even the Marts, I think. Take cotton, cotton balls for a small piece or a cotton sock or tee shirt for larger pieces. Work the piece until no more mold is seen. Then use Howard’s Restore-A-Finish to put the wood back in shape. In Due Time carries Howard’s and it comes in whatever color you need, or a natural finish if just the patina needs restoring.
Great products, great solution!
