Yep. Looks like white mold.
Follow the guide attached. I did it on a Mac that was stored in a rather... Unsanitary place. CLICK HERE TO GO TO TASE's LINK |

Also, please don't use your Rainbow until you clean this. Breathing mold is bad and this can cause mold to grow in more places.
I know that a family member used a Rainbow D3C that had a black mold problem for 10 years and has black mold growing in a lot of places she used the blowing end of the hose on. |

Oh it doesn't hurt to run the Rainbow sanitizer every couple of vacuumings, it has a bit of alcohol in it which should kill all the nasty stuff. |

It may very well be mold growing in it from the shed. When my parents moved out of their home and the place was vacant, it was amazing to see the mold that grew in that very short period of time.
For a condition that smells like mold, Rexair recommends running the Rainbow with about 1/2 cup of the Fresh Air disinfectant in the machine for about an hour. No water in the system, just Fresh Air. It should kill it all off but probably won't remove the physical appearance. I'd probably take the machine apart and clean it or take it to a service center for that. |
