How Eo Clean Mold In Exped Pad

Tips for getting mold out of sleeping pad?

I allow my girlfriend infringe my camping gear for a weekend. She never told me it got wet and after I went backpacking last weekend I discovered mold in?/on? my sleeping pad in a 2ft/4inch section. I left it in the sun all 24-hour interval, which got rid of the smell a bit but there are still black/green spots. I'chiliad hoping to eradicate information technology earlier it spreads. I can't really tell if it'south on the exterior of the pad or more than likely inside the pad.

Build a medium sized burn merely make sure the wood is pretty dry you don't desire a lot of smoke you desire high rut. unroll the sleeping handbag so place it immediately in the fire

depending on the pad and how moldy I would trash it. I take some lung problems from mold in an apartment I lived in. It'southward non something to mess with, you don't want the spores getting in your house and all over you other stuff.

Spray bleach and water 1/1 on it and rinse

Bleach is super harsh. A capful to a gallon of h2o is more than plenty.

Best you can do is bleach or vinegar to kill it as other have suggested, merely don't expect the spots themselves to completely go away.

Mirazyme. Look information technology up. Will kill the mold and eliminate the odor. There may still be a stain though. Normal.

Simply wanted to update anybody and say that nemo got me all fix upwards with a brand new sleeping pad. FOR FREE! Shout out to them for awesome customer service!!!

My nemo tensor regular wide insulated had a bit of mold growth and then they told me to cut the valve (I cutting it in a way I could still use the pad) & then they sent me a replacement for warranty. When I opened the replacement pad box there were two brand new nemo tensor insulated in in that location, they sent an extra by mistake. And then at present I have iii of the same pad and I desire to clean the mold off of the one and super glue the valve together😅😂

level 1

Soak in 10:1 water/bleach and let dry then 3:1 water/vinegar and let dry indoors for as long as possible (up until your next trip even)

prolly easier to buy a new one.

level 1

Use mold killer bro. This isn't rocket surgery.

level one

You could try freezing it

level two

Cold will preserve the mold spores, not impale them.
