Which is the best laundry detergent to remove mold? There are only a handful of laundry detergents or laundry additives that can remove mold effectively although many claim to do so. Mold or fungi are extremely resilient microbes and it takes certain antimicrobial activity and laundry soap or surfactant to capitalize on the washing machine mechanics to remove the mold from deep in the fibers in the fabric.  These detergents can become expensive on a per load basis.

Toxic mold doesn’t just impact humans. Nope. House pets can suffer from a wide variety of health issues due to exposure to mold and mycotoxins. As many of you reading this post might know, I walked away from everything I owned after my toxic mold nightmare. Everything except my car and my pets (cats and a house rabbit at the time).

One of my favorite things to do is prove or disprove a product’s ability to “kill” mold. So many types of mold cleaners and mold removers make bold claims about their ability to kill mold and the reality is very few truly possess this superpower. Lysol is one of those products that seems to have been around forever. “Spray some Lysol on it” seemed to be a very common phrase that came out of every mother’s mouth multiple times per day. Fast forward many years and the Lysol brand comprises over ... continue reading...

6 old books with mold leaning against a book end on a table

When I lost my home to mold, books were one of the first things I threw out. Given my particular situation it was way to risky to try to remove mold from books and save them. I lost a lot of gems that day to book mold. A lot. A lot of people seem to overlook moldy books and write the issue off as a “common” issue.

The thing is, you don’t get old book smell on a book that does not have mold of some ... continue reading...

A mold containment chamber

Mold containment is arguably one of the most important steps in the mold remediation process. Isolating the work area to prevent cross-contamination of clean, unaffected areas of the home is imperative.

Containment chambers also make the clean-up process easier by keeping any dust and other debris within the confines of the work ... continue reading...
