Use a mixture of white vinegar and water, 4-5 parts water and 1 part vinegar.

Should I be using distilled water or just regular tap water?

I don't think it would matter too much, but if you'd be more comfortable with distilled then by all means use it.

You should then swear off foam for the rest of your life and get some beads.

Vinegar will leave a residual odor.

Since when? I've always know white vinegar to evaporate and not leave any trace odor. The key is letting it evaporate.

Well it all came down to what I had at home. No vinegar and one bottle of rubbing alcohol. It's drying now and I'll re-season it tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

I failed to mention you need to let the humi get to 65% for a few days before getting the rh back up. Should be no need to re-season. (I'm assuming your smokes are OK)

I had a slight mold issue back in the day and a little rubbing alcohol with a light sanding with some fine grit sandpaper took care of it. I still use that humidor and have yet to have problems.
