Coolaroo 96-in x 72-in Beech Light Filtering Cordless Bamboo Indoor or outdoor Roller Shade

Mold in less than a month

We bought these to replace bamboo shades that had been up for 10 years and the cords were wearing out. In less than a month (installed June 1; today is June 27) there is green mold all over them.

Since they were bought for a rental unit, we're making them work but probably would not have bought them had we known the actual dimensions.
