For cleaning and preventing mold and mildew, I like LeatherSafe.

> insert that has slots in it.  There are these little white beads; you

> you'd then just set it on a shelf; in the trailer I cover it with

> and turn to a thick liquid and goes through the slots.  When all are
> gone you empty it out of the bottom and refill; you can get half-gallon
> size refills or I recently found 5# buckets on clearance at Meijer.
> It's great stuff!  I have a storage box on the side of my trailer that
> really draws dampness and since I've been using this I haven't found any
> mildew.  I think I refilled the things -- I have 2 of them -- 2-3 times
> last year, from April to Oct, which was maybe the amount in one refill
> size.  It's not too expensive.
