Ok SC got hit with a very hard winter and my humidor dried out. So I filled a small cup with distilled water and I thought I was set. Well I was until temps went back up to mid 65 to 73.

As I was going to check up on the RH today the mold monster struck. I now have a 4 inch round spot of mold on the lid. It's the fuzzy type on the out side and yellow in the middle. I have been told of two ways to take care of mold in humi's.

One is to take DW and wipe down the spot and let dry.

The other was to take isopropyl alcohol wipe down let dry and then wipe with DW.

What is the better course of action or is there a better one? None of my cigars where touched by mold.

Edit: Im my haist to post I forgot to put this in the Accessory Discussion forum. Mods please move it. Thank you.
