I'm sure this has been posted before but can't seem to find it searching.
My son had a 10 gallon tank in his bedroom on a great solid wood dresser. While we were on vacation, the cats managed to unplug his bubbler (before the 1 directional valve, of course) and emptied the whole tank. Apparently this happened on monday, but the house sitter decided to play dumb so she wouldn't have to clean it up.
The entire dresser is soaked, including his wardrobe. I'm considering just throwing the clothes out, most of the summer stuff was with us anyways. But the dresser is pretty nice- solid wood but not finished. So the inside of the drawers and the dresser itself have spots of mold on them. If i bleach, sand and varnish the dresser... is it still safe to use? If not, is there anything i can do?
(Don't even ask about the floor... we have a company coming monday to do an estimate on fixing the warped floor boards... and steaming the carpet... )
