to Kill Mould

Bleach Mold Myth
Do NOT use Chlorine bleach to kill mould or
disinfect moldy areas. It is not an effective or lasting killer of mould and mould spores.
Bleach is good only for changing the color of the mould.
Chlorine Bleach Is Ineffective In Killing Mould For Four Reasons :
(1) It is too
diluted and thus too weak to permanently kill mould..
(2) What little killing power chlorine bleach does have is diminished
significantly as the bleach sits in warehouses and on grocery store
shelves or inside your home or business [50%
loss in killing power in just the first 90 days inside a never opened jug or container]
Chlorine constantly escapes through the plastic walls of its containers.
(3) Its
ion structure prevents chlorine from penetrating into porous materials
such as drywall and wood---it just stays on the outside surface, whereas
mould has enzyme roots growing inside the porous construction materials. and
(4) Chlorine Bleach is NOT registered with the EPA as a disinfectant
to kill mould. You can verify that important fact yourself when you are
unable to find an EPA registration number for killing mould on the label
of any brand of chlorine bleach.
