I don't have other cleaning products under the cabinets. I'm not aware of a chemical reaction to metals. Do you have any details on that?
I have to use something to kill any growth as my wife is deathly allergic to mold. She didn't detect anything this morning, but I'm not taking chances.
Mold only grows in areas that stay wet for long periods of time. Once an area dries out mold does not grow. Mold actually dries out as well.
I am not sure of the surface but here is some information:
For killing mold with bleach use a ratio of one cup of bleach per gallon of water (ie about 1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Apply the solution to non-porous surfaces with mold growth either by using a spray bottle or by using a bucket and a sponge or cloth.
Bleach and vinegar can both kill mold, but vinegar is much more effective for removing mold from porous materials. This is because bleach only kills mold spores on the surface of affected materials. Vinegar will penetrate porous materials and kill the mold at the roots
I use CLR Mold and Mildew Cleaner but not sure how that would work on an unfinished wood surface.
