Hi, My name is Marsha and I have a Question for you. I have a wooden futon and somehow the carpet got wet under one of the legs. When I moved the futon I noticed a black mark in the carpet where the leg was. I am guessing it is mildew. It is also on the bottom of the leg of the futon. It is just a small patch of mildew, what would you use for this problem?
Thank you, Marsha
Marsha, you would use the Germ Doc.  and B.O.S.S. I am sending you some extra material as an attachment. Call me if you have more questions.

Detecting mold can be accomplished through a visual inspection and testing.
During a visual inspection, you want to visually check for mold growth in any areas of the home that have suffered from flood damage, water damage, or a plumbing leak. It only takes 24 - 48 hours for mold to grow after a water intrusion.

Other areas of concern are inside cabinets, behind drywall, behind baseboards, around plumbing fixtures,
behind wallpaper, peeling or bubbling paint, window sills, basements, crawl spaces and attics. If you find a suspicious substance which may be mold growing in any of these areas, you will want to test the area.
IMS Laboratory offers two distinct methods of testing for surface mold depending on your specific needs.
If you suspect that a substance is mold but do not know for certain, IMS

Laboratory recommends the Viable Mold Test Kit. This kit will tell you
whether the substance in question is mold without the need for laboratory

testing and costs as little as $15.00 per kit plus shipping and handeling.

My Story: My son room was a very dark, cool, moist room where we had a lot of mold/mildew problems. His room has since been completely gutted, no more carpet, new walls, ceiling, floors, insulation, etc. in hopes that we have fixed the cause of the problem. However, in the process, the wooden bunk beds and mattresses seem to have absorbed the horrible odor of mold or mildew (even though there are no obvious signs of growth). I really do hope that I could save this furniture but if I can’t get rid of that lingering smell I can’t see chancing it. (My son has asthma and I would not be able to subject him to this.) After reading about your products I was hoping I could spray the wooden bed frames and underside of mattresses with the Germ Doc.  Is this product safe for wood and fibers and is this the right choice?

Thank you for your consideration, Of course it means everything to me to eliminate this problem!  Renee.
Yes, you can save this furniture.You would spray Germ Doc  on the furniture and wait 10 minutes. Then with a soft cloth that has had Germ Doc sprayed on it, wipe all down. The second thing to do for the mattresses, take the Carpet Granules and sprinkle (heavy) on the mattress. If you need to, you can put the mattress\cover and sheets over this. You want to leave this on the mattress for 6 days. Now, turn the mattress over and do the other side. The zeolite is going to pull the odor, etc., out of the inside material. Our Household Packs would be good in his room for picking up the new construction odors and chemical smells.
