Veteran Posts: 151	I bought this pad used off of FB. I had issues with the seller, I paid same day with credit card, it took her 4 weeks to send. That was in October. I took it out of the shipping box two days ago (I had surgery and could not ride), and it was wrapped in a garbage bag completely soaking wet and awful smelling like mildew/mold. Is it salvageable? I am devastated...a please chime in with any and all ideas!

Sock Snob Posts: 3021	i would also find some type of something natural like white viniger to kill the mold and then wash it. that was nasty to send it to you like that
