The Myth about Chlorine Bleach

US spelling - mold

Some companies advocate the use of Chlorine Beach as a mould remover for remediation projects. We DO NOT use or recommend chlorine bleach [sodium hypochlorite] to kill mould or disinfect mouldy areas.

Chlorine is not an effective or permanent killer of mould or the mould spores and does not address the odours caused by mVOC's (volatile organic compounds) that are released by the live and dying mould.

Chlorine bleach is too diluted to permanently kill mould unless the mould is sitting on top of a hard non-cellulose surface*.

As chlorine constantly escapes through the plastic walls of its containers, it's effectiveness is further reduced by up to 50% in 90 days in a never opened container.
