Need a solution/fix for under my kitchen sink cabinet. It gets moldy.

My Dishwasher is in the cabinet next to this cabinet, so the hoses go thru that cabinet to cabinet under the sink. And my sink itself gets moisture underneath it when i use it to wash dishes??? What can i do to keep mold from building up?

You won't get rid of the mold until you find the source of the moisture. Mold can be toxic, making you sick in ways that you might not be aware of.

Get it dry and keep it dry by checking for any leaks. Wrap pipes so they don't drip condensation. The Dollar Tree sells these things about 3" high and 6" wide that are containers with a dry chemical in it to absorb and collect water from closets, cabinets, etc. You can try using one or two of those ($1 each) or they also sell them in grocery and other stores under the name Damp Rid ("Damp Rid is a product designed to prevent mold and mildew from growing in the home or office. The manufacturer produces a variety of products, all of which use calcium chloride to eliminate moisture from the air.") They come in all sizes and forms,start at $2, and you can find it at Home Depot, Walmart, etc.) Good luck!

Find the leak that's causing the mold, ASAP! Then keep a small canister of Damp-Rid under there to absorb dampness.

wash it using peroxide. Then buy moisture beads ( I get them at dollar tree) and open the container. Check it monthly as beads dissolve and contain moisture collected. empty and replace as needed.

Just curious Carol, were you in the US AF? knew someone by that name years ago in Los Angeles...my last name was Baggett

You must have a little leak somewhere under your sink, around the edges of the sink, or your faucet that is going down into the cupboard. Clean with bleach and rinse with vinegar water. May be if you leave your cupboard open over night or when no one is around during the day, the humidity won't build so bad. My dishwasher is next to my sink and I have never had mold under my sink.

thank you for all your responses......i think i'm going to just call a plummer and be done with it. lol thanks tho

Sorrythis is an issue for you. Can you get a plumber who will give a free estimate and maybe he can at least identify the problem? Then you will at least know where the moisture is coming from. These little things become headaches sometimes but I am sure it will be a quick and simple fix when you figure out the reason why its happening. Good luck!
