I know bleach contact will not kill the mold spores, the best chemical contact cleaner I know would just be straight vinegar but even that wouldn't kill 100% of the mold.The hyphae, or roots, are what present the problem, most chemicals only discolor the mold but don't actually kill it. I was curious if anyone else had used a known solution to kill them or not.
I know the most efficient way to kill it is through wet autoclaving, 5 minutes at 121 degrees Celsius but not many people have access to an autoclave nor would anyone want to take the time to do the process correctly.
I just really don't want to buy brand new every year, seems like such a waste to do that. I suppose it all depends on how much loss of production not changing them out provides.
