Hi,

I'm currently having wood fungus problem in my room.

Where I believe my room air is too humid? and my room is protected/shaded from sunlight.

Anyhow, I have notice some fungus/mold growing on my wood furniture i.e my tv cabinet, wardrobe and bed frame.
I have try wiping it off with just dry cloth but after few days it just return and got worst.

I have also try to use furniture polish (Minyak Kayu Murni) some kind of oil based thing. Where I apply on the affected furnitures but 2 days later I can see that the fungus/mold starts to appear again.

Would like to ask for you kind suggestion or opinion on how to avoid removing mold/fungus after I have clean them up.

I have read somewhere only which say to use vinegar to clean up the furniture. I wonder how effective is this?

Can share the input on this?

Thanks.

i would do the following steps:

1. you can kill fungi spores with alcohol. use medical alcohol and rub generously over affected areas. air house nicely!

2. ensure that either

a. you have a continous airflow (leave some windows open, enhance flow with a fan, always on) to move spores and reduce risk of new mold&fungus-growth.

b. you reduce humidity in the room below 65% (which discourages mold&fungus growth). this can be achieved through dehumidification; easiest is a to use an aircon and switch it to dry mode and leave it on. not sure if using dehumidifiers (the gel-like ones) is as good or cheaper. need to check for yourself.

good luck
