Show me another »Is it safe to use my wooden bed frame?
I am in the process of moving to a new apartment. When I went to disassemble the bed, I found a carpet of greenish-black mold on the wall with a lesser amount growing on the wooden bed frame, which was right up against the wall. I treated the frame with bleach water, but there is still a slight stain left. I'm concerned about toxic mold and don't want to infect my new place with the stuff. What should I do? Note: There was no mold observed on my mattress or bedding.

Bleach will kill virtually everything, so you're safe.
Also, as long as the frame is dry in your new place, any mold spores that did remain viable would not be able to germinate - they need dampness to grow.

- it is just a stain it should be fine how ever if you are willing you could sand and paint the bed that will help
- You are fine but you could wipe it down again just to be sure. Make sure you get the legs or bottom of it and let it dry out. Go ahead and spray the mattress with Lysol and wash the bedding.
You'll be ok so don't worry.Source(s):
