Mold and Mildew Removal with H2O2
Before you begin splashing chlorine bleach
around the house to remove mold or mildew, consider
using H2O2 instead.
Why?
Well, for a few good reasons. Not the least of which
is that it works.
Why else? Because unlike chlorine based products which
form organochlorines in the environment (for example,
dioxin)and produce other toxic and long lasting by-
products which do not break down in the environment;
hydrogen peroxide creates no residual toxins of any kind.
It breaks down to water and oxygen, and within a few hours
there is no evidence of its use at all in the surrounding
environment.
It’s also extremely effective at killing the spores which
can spread molds and mildews in your home. Just saturate the
affected areas thoroughly and let stand. Then re-moisten the
area with hydrogen peroxide again before wiping with a clean
cloth or songe.
And hydrogen peroxide will not bleach out wall paper, paint
or fabric surfaces the way chlorine bleach does. So you won’t
have to repair the damage bleaching causes. It is also far less
abrasive to natural fiber structures, so it doens’t weaken
fabrics or other materials when you apply it.
Chlorine bleach can eat a hole right through fabrics at
its normal 3 percent concentration (straight from the
bottle) whereas H2O2 won’t damage or breakdown the
fiber structure of papers or fabrics.
In the end, you will have a clean, mold and mildew free living
environment with none of the toxic side effects of chlorine
based products. And best of all, you can use the regular store
brand H2O2 from the local grocer or drug counter. It’s very
inexpensive, and works just fine.
