Only problem I encountered was mold developed on the plush side. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it. Tried vinegar.

I would recommend vinegar and water, and use a soft-bristled brush to get the mold out, and then shampoo to get the smell out. Store a completely dry air mattress in a waterproof, airtight container to prevent mold from forming.

I guess it would depend on how much mold and how covered, I would use soap and water with a abrasive brush or sponge, then I would use disinfectant wipes and thoroughly clean it. If it still doesn't come off after doing that two or three times, I'm not sure it would be wise to use it again.

To clean it I did the same, soaking in vinegar but I took a toothbrush and scrubbed the inside because it had developed calcium really bad. Now it's as good as new. I will probably have to do that again shortly but it wasn't too hard to do

No I have not but try washing the stool with vinegar. That may keep the mold from returning

I have the exact same problems with mine that Grace has with her's! We make sure it is empty and drained after each use but it has gotten disgusting with the mold (actually I believe it is a bacterial growth). Despite this major problem I truly love this machine and I used mine several times a day!

I didn't have any issues. Could be due to local temps/humidity. Rinse with warm water to clear it.

try placing a ball mid-table and other items on cushions to keep some air circulation going. Might mitigate your mildew problem.'''' marinmarine

Try to soak it with Dawn, luke warm water and white vinegar for 8 hours. It might help.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem. I have not been able to get rid of it either. It doesn't bother my little girl so I didn't worry about it.

Try a pre-wash spray of white vinegar on the spot, then a gentle cycle wash. I've washed dust and bird **** off mine that way.

I get pink mold, but white vinegar takes it right off. Also, I remove the interior part that comes out (not the water tank) and put it in the dishwasher.

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

I have gotten some mold off. It wasn't badly molded but it did take it off. I do recommend buying a bottle of Genesis 950 cleaner to add to your solution. It is amazing stuff and really cleans/disinfects. You can buy it online direct from the company-Amerikal Products. It's well worth it and all you add is a capful of solution.

I loved this product until I noticed brown residue coming out of the steaming area. It actually grossed me out so much that I don't want to use it anymore. It makes sense that mold would have an environment to form in a device like this.

I haven't had a problem but I live in Arizona and fungus and mold are not prevalent here. Sorry, I have no suggestions.

Were you using a little bleach to clean it? If so and the oders remain, then in a cup, try using a little baking soda and viniger, swish it around in it, you can let it soak if needed, then rince it well, if the smells stry in it after that, then my guess is its defective and I'd try sending it back for a replacement.

I briefly had that problem. Put it in the dishwasher on high temp, sanitize settings and it'll be good as new.

Clean it with vinegar and water and it should clean pretty well. Hope this helps:):):)
