I just looked in a noticed that both of my humidifiers in my humidor have white mold growing in them...

I took them out, and am not sure what to do...do I buy new ones? Do I need to take out all my cigars and examine? wipe the humidor (I don't see any in there...)

THanks all

I should have added that the mold is white and small...it also grouips togeather...almost like cob-webs

Just scrape the mold off, and put 'um back, all is just fine.

Keep an eye on the humidity if you can.

Definitely not plume...LOL!

Goody

so you all don't think I need to get new humidification in there? The guy at the local store said to take all the sticks out, trash the humidification (2 round ones), rub the humidor with clorox....Is he just looking for business?

BLEACH !!!! no ... no ... no ...

Use denatured alcohol ...

Did the cigar store guy SEE the cigars in question ??

AAAHHHH DO NOT WIPE DOWN THE HUMIDOR WITH BLEACH!!! unless you want to throw that away too.

I'd just wipe the mold off with a rag and leave it at that. If you want to take it a step further, open up the humi (if possible) and replace the oasis foam. Even further, toss them and get new ones. BUT DO NOT WIPE THE HUMI WITH BLEACH.

If you keep your humidity in check (65%-75%) you shouldn't have any problems with mold.

Bleach!! NO NO NO!

You can open your humidification devices and clean off the mold or just go to your local florist and get some florist foam and replace the stuff in you device. If you choose to open and clean your device I would let it air dry for a few days and then recharge it with 50/50 and put it back in. Then like the others have suggested wipe your humi with some alcohol and put everything back in. I had the same thing a few weeks ago with one of my humidors and I know deep down in my heart it was because I charged my device with tap water instead of distiled... I know this because the other humidor I charged with 50/50 and it's not developed any mold. ... Anyway don't panic you haven't lost anything yet and you came to the right place for help.
