Quoted from jwilson:You need to use a polish and a buffer to get mylar to shine again.
Remember, wax is to PROTECT the shine, polish is to MAKE it shine.
Right, but what are people using to polish the mylar? Would love some recommendations.
Quoted from mamawaldee:How about naptha for cleaning up mildew?
Your posts are breaking my heart. Don't just think of this as an issue of moisture. It's more an issue of relative humidity. Most molds need high rh to grow. There's two ways of reducing rh. Remove moisture and increase the temperature. Increasing the temperature increases the amount of moisture the air can hold, while lowers the rh (assuming you don't have an endless supply of moisture). I'm convinced most dehumidifiers are effective not because they remove moisture, but because they generate heat. Find a way of increasing the temperature and circulation around your machines. Even keeping incandescent bulbs on in the basement may help. If your water heater is in the basement and is in a closet or room, make sure it is open to air flow (they generate plenty of heat, as does your furnace).
