This is probably one of the most common and greatest problems. It has

been discussed many times on this group. Sadly, there is still no one

good solution, though sometimes some chemicals work for some people.

I'd strongly advise against using bleach.

In fact, the best thing would be to store the most important items at

some place (e.g. separate storage area) so they won't be able to hurt

you. Some moldies have observed that if contaminated items are stored

for about 5 years and all their surfaces are exposed to air then they

should lose their toxicity.

It's best to discard unimportant items such as clothes. Better safe

than sorry...
