Subject:      Re: Mold

On the advice of another listmember I used bleach and water. There was a
change of color, because the process removed not only the mold, but an
accumulation of dirt.  It did not take off the fuzzy stuff.  I had no
problems resulting from unscrewing (and later rescrewing) the curtains from
the walls in order to clean my curtains. Jim McCarthy '87 Syncro Westy
