... drawer and door fronts. :sad:

This has appeared after the sideboard has spent five years in a humid shipping container The drawers are stuck tight too. The sideboard has been in my house for just one week now.

I'm assuming the drawers will dry and free-up by May/June, but does anyone have a remedy for the black mould blemishes? Could I try a mould removing bathroom cleaner perhaps on the back first to test? :scratch:

I'd try and find something that does not contain bleach and then as you say test it on the back.

I'm not sure if a quick blast with a steam cleaner would be a good idea or not :scratch:

The high temperature might kill the mould?

Thanks UHM
I've had a reply from Ercol - they recommend vinegar and water 1 to 3.
