Anyone see any potential issue with using an air purifier in a wine fridge? Would it harm the wine in anyway? The reason I am even thinking about this is my 40 bottle fridge's humidity is usually around 70%. Once in a while I will notice molds on some labels (especially the Haut Brion bottles...) and also on the wood rack. Takes a bit of time to clean it up. Just wondering if there is a way to reduce the maintenance.

I remember people recomending baking soda (perhaps Arm and Hammer?)

So I just put an open box of it in the fridge?

Thanks.

Well I have a recipe I use to clean veggies from the garden and such when storing them in the cellar..

Take 1 tbls of bleach and mix to 1 gallon water,, wipe down the bottles with this mild solution and you will clean and kill of mold spores and anything else hanging around on the bottles ,, Just make a gal and wet a dishrag and wipe when u get new bottles.. can use it again next purchase.
