I have a styrofoam hive top feeder that got mildewey.  Any suggestions on cleaning styrofoam?

Scalding hot water and a soft wash rag will take it off fine.  A little vinegar in the water might help a bit.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Great!  Those three things I have in abundance.  I'll give it a whirl.  Thanx!

Another option is to wash with the hot soapy water and then spritz it with a mixture of 1 part peroxide and 2 parts water from a spray bottle and wipe out after it quits foaming to kill anything that the soapy water didn't.
