Journey of Resilience on “Got Mold? Don’t Use Bleach”
July 17, 2017
Rebekah from Journey of Resilience wrote an article titled “Got Mold? Don’t Use Bleach!”
From the article:
Although bleach may change the color of the mold on the surface of mold or drywall through oxidation, that does not mean that your mold problem is gone. In fact, it may be festering out of your sight and the mycotoxins that mold produces could still be harming your health.
Even if bleach did kill mold, the EPA warns, “Dead mold may still cause allergic reactions in some people, so it is not enough to simply kill the mold and leave it there, the mold must be removed.”
So what’s our conclusion? If you hear a potential remediator mention using bleach for mold, you may want to run. Far and fast! Protect your family’s heath (and yours) by using other methods to take care of a mold problem!
