Mold and Mildew: a Musty Menace

Mold and mildew can grow on any surface in your home where there is sufficient moisture. Sneaky mold spores float through the air and begin to grow as soon as they land on a moist surface. It’s no secret, mold loves moisture.

it’s most common in damp areas such as your basement, laundry room, bathroom, or areas with poor air circulation.

Mold not only looks bad–it can also leave indelible stains, and even digest certain materials and cause permanent damage. Mold also creates that characteristic musty odor that can spread throughout your home.

It can even soak into your furniture and clothing. Mold and mildew growth can become a health issue for your family by contributing to conditions like asthma and allergies.

Why Bleach isn’t the Solution for defeating Mold and Mildew

Bleach used to be the go-to cleaner for mold and mildew back in the old days. But, you will run into some problems reaching for the bleach bottle to solve your mold problem. Here’s why:

• It’s harsh. Bleach has a pH of about 12 on a scale of 0-14, which makes it pretty caustic. Bleach will ruin your clothes if you accidentally splash any on them. It can also harm some of the surfaces you are trying to clean. Sometimes the damage is obvious right away, and sometimes it happens gradually. It also shortens the lifespan of the very item you’re trying to take good care of.
• It’s a messy hassle. When you’re trying to use bleach to clean up mold and mildew, you wind up having to find a container to dilute the bleach in, and then either pouring it directly onto the mold and mildew or wiping it on with a rag. During this process, you risk splashing bleach on your clothes or other things. Then you have to scrub, which is a big hassle. After all this, you have to rinse the bleach away. This leaves a wet mess behind, which you then have to figure out how to dry up.
• It doesn’t stop mold and mildew from growing back. Not only does bleach lack any ingredients that would stop mold and mildew from growing back, but bleach is also mostly comprised of water. However, you also need to add even more water to bleach before using it to clean mold and mildew. And, to top it all off, you have to rinse the surface with water afterward. Using bleach to clean mold and mildew keeps you trapped in an endless, cleaning cycle.
• It’s smelly. When you clean up mold and mildew with bleach, you replace mold’s musty odor with bleach’s acrid chemical stink. First, you have to deal with the eye-and-nose-stinging chemical odor while you’re cleaning, and then you and your family are left with the lingering unpleasant smell that takes days to dissipate.
• Why trade one stink for another?
• You don’t know how much to dilute it. Trying to dilute bleach can leave an uneasy feeling about its mixing ratio and thus effectiveness. Add too little water, and you risk destroying something. Add too much, and you risk leaving mold and mildew behind or even winding up with more mold and mildew than you started out with.
