I use a wooden shelf in the brewshed for maturing demijohns. I used dettol surface cleaner on the shelf a few weeks ago as there was spots of mould all over. I think its from condensation on the DJs and running onto the shelf.
Now a few weeks later there's more spots of mould on there.
Anybody had same thing happening or have an idea how I can stop this.
Thanks
 
use some neat bleach on a cloth and leave it there (after wiping first) nowt will grow . i have messy brew days in the shed , bleach soon stopped the mould .
 
Even with the condensation going on, I'll ggive it a go tomorrow. Thanks
 
Good to hear mate, will get on with it tomorrow. Along with getting everything ready for the first brew in months :party:
 
Get rid of the wood and use something impervious, plastic, metal, or just a tray of same to sit them in......with wood the mould will be back :roll:
 
I had a problem with mold all over my old brewhouse. It is down to condensation. An extractor fan helps a lot.
 
I know its from condensation, just hoped to stop it. I get no condensation elsewhere just on the djs .
I've gave the shelf a good bleach clean but I'm going to cover the shelf aswell. Just to be sure.
 
My brew table is exterior varnished marine ply and 'the mould' attacked it. I bleached it several times, the mould always comes back. I still haven't solved it, just have to keep re-beaching which is a RPITA. I think the mould gets into the grain and it's impossible to kill once in there (within reason)...note to self...stainless table maybe :roll:
 
Try a 3:1 or 4:1 blend of high-proof spirit and pure tea tree oil, Vossy. Let it soak deep into the wood, and you should find the mould doesn't come back. Also good for nits, fleas, house-mites, dandruff and acne.
 
Sorted, scrubbed with bleach a few times then left to dry and wrapped with vinyl from pound land.
Very pleased with the finish so will be doing the rest of the shelves the same.
