Not sure when it happened but the smell of mildew all the sudden just overtook me about a week or so ago and I found some under my camper mattress so I had to throw the mattress cover off and it's vapor barrier sheet and then apply a little bit of vinegar to the foam mattress to kill the mold that was there. I have a bunch of clothes that have some mildew smell and I'm using the sun to kill the mold right now. Next week sometime I'm going to go back into town and do a wash to get all the mold and mildew smell off my clothes and the bags that they're in.

A big reality check though is my electronics have the smell of mildew on them. For instance my SLR camera smells like mildew and so do some of its cases and a lens. How the heck do I get the smell of mildew off that stuff? I know I can't use vinegar because there's water but can I just use isopropyl alcohol? I was also reading something about baking soda. Do I mix the two together and then rub with a towel on the electronics? Or is there a better solution I could buy?

Fuck it, burn it down and collect the insurance.

Oh they're on to the jew lightning. Plus I don't have enough insurance to cover the loss. the hoops they want you to jump through to get what items are worth now is unbelievable. Insurance is no longer our friend, they literally fight you tooth and nail to not have to pay. You have to embarrass them on social media when they're out doing one of their pat themselves on the back media tours in order for them to give you the money that they owe you.

Yep, still fighting to get what they owe us after a year. They have paid out some but not nearly what the coverage lists and we have multiple adjusters and contractors in agreement. Don't care how long it takes, they will pay out.
