A cartoon drawing of a man with a mold respirator spraying Lysol mold and mildew remover on a moldy wall

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...

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.

Containment ensures that any mold in the area being remediated does not spread into other areas of the home when it becomes airborne. And it WILL become airborne.

The first question I asked the toxicologist I was working with was “does homeowner’s insurance cover mold?” His face said it all. He told me to call them but to be prepared to be disappointed. ... continue reading...
