mold in safe????

[palerider0485]

like the title says, I opened my safe and found some mold, not black mold, but rather white powder like mold, it appears just on the wood of old military rifles, 3 to be exact, right away I whiped them with bleach and haven't put them back in the safe, has any one else had this happen and what should I do in future to avoid this problem,

If it is really mold (not doubting you, but don't want to give bad advice) then humidity has got to be your biggest issue. Get a couple rechargeable desiccant canisters and/or a tub of Damp-Rid in there. Put a hygrometer in first for a couple days to confirm it is a humidity problem.

If you have mold, you have moisture. Stop the moisture, stop the mold.

Get you one of these from WalMart an stick it in your safe, or something along these lines. I change it out about every 6 months they run less than 8 bucks. No moisture problems at all after that.
