Wait 15 minutes and repeat, letting the vinegar work its magic overnight. The following day, sponge hydrogen peroxide on the affected area to eliminate any traces of the stain and to prevent the mold from returning."Julie V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00679617381948100098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-3198772116277673212010-02-13T08:18:57.652-08:002010-02-13T08:18:57.652-08:00Well, there is a difference between mildew and nas...Well, there is a difference between mildew and nasty black mold that makes people very ill. the recent Family Circle magazine has cool tips on getting rid of mildew. I usually use Clorox clean-up to kill tit, but the magazine recommends : "Make a paste with plant-based castile soap with baking soda. Then scrub the paste into tile grout. Rinse with hot water. To kill mold and mildew spores left behind, dip a thin sponge paintbrush into distilled white vinegar and apply to the grout."<br />I'm sure this method will work around windows, and other areas where mildew forms. They also recommend a product called R-Teez tile grout cleaning sponge (available at thestaineraser.com)<br /><br />Good luck with the ear-infections and all ...your Pookie and Gabbers are probably just brining home every germ they contact at school and church.

How annoying. I hope everything gets better. If you have mildew that bad in the house, what about the carpet? That is usually the first thing to cause problems.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128941432434492317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-44615740975815185632010-02-12T22:24:29.365-08:002010-02-12T22:24:29.365-08:00Ah, the wiping technique.

It must be a genetic thing on our side of the family (seriously, I can say that since I'm related and all).Em and Anna draw the most fascinating pictures, too.One of these days I'll post the pics they draw of me, usually consisting of people with very large heads and lots of squiggles and circles all over the head for my hair. The upside is that the body is usually quite slim and stickish.Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/17430815366297302202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-31017228286582856332010-02-12T20:24:50.750-08:002010-02-12T20:24:50.750-08:00hey - i saw you driving in town today and tried to...hey - i saw you driving in town today and tried to stalk you by going to walmart then to do my shopping because i thought that's where you'd be heading. however, i didn't see you, so my stalking attempt failed. i'm sorry the kiddos are sick. hope they feel better soon!<br /><br />by the way, have i ever told you how i've heard the locals around here call the place the valley of sickness? it's not your house - it's the locale!Ms. Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591836268015801769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15443223.post-2677770715062539592010-02-12T18:44:05.029-08:002010-02-12T18:44:05.029-08:00ahh mildew...I haven't seen it since living ou...ahh mildew...I haven't seen it since living out west, but remember it well when we lived in more humid states.<br />Tilex was a necessity!<br />Hope your babies are well soon.

I can't rave about garlic ear oil enough. We've warded off a number of them by using it at onset.
