Vinegar gets rid of mold right? MIL bright home some big toy boat for Gwendolyn that was being given away. She wants to clean it with bleach. I said vinegar but she doesn't believe in the magical powers of vinegar.
I've read the borax works well on mold. I use a homemade concoction of vinegar, water, borax and castille soap as a general spray cleaner for DS's toys.
Re: Vinegar and mold
Undiluted vinegar will kill mold. You can add some TTO for extra cleaning power if you want.
I'd take it from your MIL, thank her, and then clean it your way. No need to get her participation or approval.
