Hi Vic,

Try bicarbonate of soda in a container just left in the room for a while -
of course that's assuming you've got rid of the source of the mould.

If that doesn't work we're putting a new orour eating gel on the site as of
next Monday (sorry for the plug) that works on my sweaty running (how I
tested it) and is good for most airborn odours. Take a look from Monday.

Dehumidifier. Mold/meldew needs moisture to live. Some cleaners are
better with odors, "Mr. Clean" is one such product.

I wish it to be known that Mr Clean is a far less qualified person than
DrClean - and if you want a second opinion - "He's ugly too".

then the mold is still there? if so, bleach water will kill it. you need to
be sure it isn't in a wall etc where it could still be.

No I won't. The hair's already getting shorter and shorter as it gets
thinner.

Actually the short hair helps with the swimming, and if I loose it all I'll
be extra-aerodynamic on the bike.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
