Our house started leaking whenever it rained (contractors have since seemingly fixed the problem), but it soaked the wooden TV stand even though we tried to elevate it out of the way. We noticed some green and some yellow mold/mould.
Now, we've used diluted bleach, isopropyl alcohol, and F10 SC on the TV stand. We've been airing out the room (big sliding glass doors) but of course it's porous material so we're still concerned. Our flatmate is allergic to mold, and of course Cairo lives here too. He's been spending his time outdoors or in our room instead, and (touch wood) he's not been showing any symptoms (but I do plan on taking him to our vet for a check-up).
Since the mold is inside and outside the TV stand, we were discussing using an ozone-emitter and UV-C light for a few hours when everyone (including Cairo) is outside of the house. The UV-C light I feel a bit more comfortable with because it'll only be on for a few hours when we're all out. But the ozone-emitter - how long after turning it off and airing the house again is it safe for Cairo to enter the house? What do you guys recommend to deal with the mold?
