When it comes to mould prevention and removal, what is best? Bleach, Vinegar or Essential Oils?
The most crucial consideration in toxic mould prevention is that fungi and mould need a moist, wet, or damp environment to thrive. By maintaining a clean, dry home or workplace, dangerous mould species cannot grow.
Don’t expose yourself, your family, staff or tenants to harsh, health-threatening chemicals such as chlorines and ammonia when eliminating mould, there are more natural options available.
But Doesn’t Bleach Kill Mould?
Using bleach can intensify the problem. Bleach only kills surface mould, not the membrane that lives underneath that black, fuzzy growth you see.
Because of its chemical makeup, bleach cannot penetrate porous surfaces like concrete, unsealed tile, drywall or wood. So, being a living organism, mould will retreat deeper into these surfaces to avoid the chemical, but it will continue to grow and even return faster if left untreated!
What about Vinegar?
White vinegar is known to kill 82% of mould species and will help prevent future small outbreaks. Spraying 100% white vinegar onto the mould affected area and let sit for an hour before scrubbing and finally rinsing will help. Continue to spray the area every few days to prevent the mould from growing back.
BUT STOP!! SAFETY FIRST!
You need to wear gloves and a face mask to remove mould and mould spores. Trying to remove mould in your home or property can be harmful to your health, not only because of the toxic chemical products used but from the mould itself.
How Can Mould in the Home Affect Me
Exposure to mould often occurs when it is disturbed and releases spores, these spores are then inhaled. Further, mould can cause health problems such as headaches, allergies, asthma and lung infections, body rashes and other aches and pains.
