UPDATE on: Re: Looking for ADVICE & SUGGESTIONS regarding Stachy testing...

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your post. I appreciate it. I have a few more

questions for you and/or others. Obviously, I haven't worn my bathrobe

to work, which is where the mold is, but do you think it has gotten

cross contaminated from being in the closet with my other clothes, or

perhaps having been washed with my other clothes?

Same thing for clothes in the drawers that were never worn to work.

Would they get cross contaminated just from being in the drawers or

from being washed with other clothes. Are the drawers of the antique

dressers now contaminated as well?

Would I be better off just getting rid of all my clothes? I don't have

a great way for soaking them for 12 hours, as I live in an apartment

and the washer and dryer are shared and can't really be stopped to soak

anyway.
