The Biggest Secret !

You see it all the time, at the grocery store and on-line… products that claim to kill or eradicate mold.

But do these products work? Are they necessary?

The simple answer is a big NO.

Why then do professional mold remediators use bleach and other chemical sanitizers?

Because consumers expect them to use them and think that if they don’t use them you might think they are not doing their job properly. The simple truth is that if mold is effectively removed, there is nothing left to kill. (For details on how to effectively remove mold see Chapter 1 in Healthy Living Spaces: Top 10). In fact, if the contractor performing the mold remediation went to a good school to learn his craft, he would have been taught that biocides, including bleach should not be used. Using them is not only not necessary, the use of biocides may cause new problems that you didn’t have before.
