I bought a used Montegue End Table Cigar Humidor. He had the shelves on bottom and when got home there was mold on the bottom. Looks like had cigar oasis on shelve in between unit and bottom. You can see dried out green where the slots were. Shame on me for not checking.
I see remedies on line with using alcohol and sanding and distilled water.
My concern as for all I guess is getting all the spores. Is there a way to get 100% removed?
Love the unit,but my brother said is it worth taking chance of ruining thousands of $ taking that chance?
I would love some expert advice of % of mold coming back with the best remedy.
Appreciated, thanks!
PS-The Cigar Oasis Magnum had mold in unit as well-it was the foam type-should I just chuck it?
 
Years ago I had a similar problem that I caused myself. I removed the green racks, wiped down the green parts with clorox bleach wipes, and put them in the bright sunshine for a day. Next day, I lightly sanded the racks, wiped them with a dry towel, and left them in the sunshine again. The green has not returned, and (obviously) I didn't detect any bleach smell before I returned them to the humidor. Nearly every cigar is inside a box in my humidor, and that extra protection barrier makes sense to me. As a cigar box gets close to empty, I usually take the last few sticks and transfer them to my " variety" box. That way, I don't waste humidor space with a bunch of nearly-empty boxes.
