So, I just had a friend give me a fridge that had been sitting around his house. It had been unplugged and was pretty moldy on the inside. I gave it a real thorough bleaching and hosed it out. It looks damn near new now. The only problem is that I took the bottom panel of the freezer off and there is black mold growing in the styrofoam insulation.
I just got done thoroughly bleaching that as well and it's soaking in as we speak. My only question is, since it's a porous surface, do you think that the spraying with bleach will be sufficient to kill the mold?
I've had other fridges that were nasty and needed bleaching in the past, but I've never dealt with the styrofoam issue. Also, it's a custom molded styrofoam so trying to replace it would be a real PITA. I'm thinking of using this fridge to ferment ales, so I want to make sure there's no funk in there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
