Excellent, procedure and practice turbojimmy. I'm not familiar with "Microban." I have to use non-toxic substances due to my health problems. I used tea tree, enzymes and hydrogen peroxide on a small mold problem that developed in my RV following a 21/2 month stay in a mountain campground that included hailstorms. The hail damaged the roof and caused a leak. Sealed the leak. I thought I dried it out sufficiently, but you know water... A couple of weeks later when I entered my coach, I detected mold. Since I'm hypersensitive, i can smell minute amounts. I tracked it down to a seam along the edge of the partial partition between the cab and the coach. I removed everything down to bare wood. Treated the whole area to kill both the root and the spores. Then I chiseled out all of the section of infected wood for extra measure. It was small enough. I treated the area again. The whole time I ran a UV purifier to kill spores so it wouldn't spread. When it was dry, I sealed it. Then I filled the area with "onetime" to ensure structural integrity, and sealed it again. I also thoroughly decontaminated all the materials that had been near the outbreak, like the upholstered partition covers. These issues can be dealt with very effectively. Thanks for sharing!
