Wake up to mold

Chocolate milk,eh? You are lucky. I would freak if I thought there was mold in my house. It can make you very sick.

I once thought smoke was mold. Years ago when I lived with my parents, I walked into their room one time and happened to glance up. I asked my mom why mold was up there, but she pointed out several other places along the bedroom where the same stuff was. They had left a candle burning the entire night, and closed the bedroom door. As a result, the smoke had stained the upper parts of the walls.

I would think that you would have smelled the spoiled chocolate milk--eewwwww. That is almost worse than mold. I would probably try to scrub it with baking soda. I have had mold on surfaces and cleaned it with peroxide or baking soda or bleach. This post, however, reminds me of two different happenings that involved my son. One, he was not three years old yet, and we were in our "little" house. I gave him some kind of a dark colored juice. He tripped and it splashed to the ceiling. Of course it stained. Fast forward nine or ten years. I am working and the kids get home from school before me every day. I left snacks for them. I had baked a mocha cake and I guess my son was tired of it. By that time we lived in a house with ten foot ceilings. He took his plate and tossed his cake. It hit the ceiling. Chocolate mocha cake stains textured white ceilings. So I guess there are other things to think about staining other than mold.

somecowsirl how about overcooked eggyolk on the ceiling,it looked like mold but my retarded sister had been left to take the eggs off the stove w hen they came to a boil. I had told her to watch the eggs for me. she did she watched the pan boil dry and the eggs exploded and hit the ceiling.I had to hire a painter to climb up clean off the mess and repaint the ceiling before my parents came back from summering in SouthDakota to spend he winter in Arizona. I can just imagine my dad wou ld hav e exploded too had he seen that mess.so I learned one things overcooked eggs will explode all over the place.

Glad to hear that it wasn't mold. We have problems with mildew in our basement. So we have to put dehumidifiers down there to keep the moisture down. Mold can be v ery annoying. Especially if a person has really bad allergies.
