I finally got around to removing the cabinet in my work area, to replace it with better storage, and I'm glad I did! The wall behind it was covered in mold.. yuck!! It's all on the paint, coming off fairly easily, so if I'm lucky, it isn't in the wall itself necessitating drywall and stud/brace replacement.
I'm now left with a question for anyone else who's ever had to go through this.. even though all of my butters and packaged soaps in that cabinet were wrapped and airtight, should I throw them out and start over? Cautious me says toss it all, but logical me says they should be fine because they were airtight and there was absolutely zero mold inside where they were sitting. Tossing everything out isn't an appealing scenario, of course, and will be a hefty financial waste... but definitely well worth it, if the products are tainted in any way. I don't want anyone getting sick from using my soaps or lotions!!
