This Can't Be Healthy

The bamboo shade on our bedroom window is covered in a thin film of greenish mold. Time to break out the Lysol.

For those of you who long to live in a grand historical home, specifically a stone historical home: Are you prepared for moldy window blinds? Because they come along with the history.

    Yuck. Dehumidifier?

    Word verification....phorted. Sounds like something with a foul odor.

    I think it's time for some new blinds, not just Lysol. But, then again, new blinds might just mold again, so you've probably got it right.

    Personally, I prefer curtains, mostly because it is easy to take them down and wash them, which is good for me and my cat, since both us of have allergies.

    I think a dehumidifier would be a good idea too. Can you use a little bit of bleach to get rid of the mold? Maybe a weak solution and some mild soap?

    I vote for a whole house dehumidifier . But, then I am not paying for it either. But, I do vote for a dehumidifier just the same.

    I've never met either of you, but I don't see A. going for a dehumidifier. Maybe you could make blinds out of packets of silica gel?

    I guess I'm old-fashioned....I'm thinking that if you're preggers you shouldn't really be breathing in mould, or breathing in Lysol for that matter. Something to think about.
