Hello everyone,
I discovered mold growth in my KALLAX shelving unit, which I have now thoroughly removed. The unit was completely vacuumed, scrubbed, and treated with an anti-mold spray. However, an unpleasant, damp odor remains, especially strong in the enclosed compartments. Has anyone had experience with effectively eliminating this smell after mold removal in a KALLAX shelving unit? I want to prevent the mold odor from lingering permanently on the furniture or in the living space. Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!

I want to try to save the furnitureI think that is a reasonable approach. Furniture should only be replaced if the level of damage is too severe.
One more tip: when using steam cleaners, keep in mind that although the high temperature helps reduce mold spores, moisture can penetrate the material if used improperly. It is best to apply the steam briefly and locally, then wipe it off with dry cloths.
Good luck with your efforts!
