WHAT IS
BLEACH?
Bleach is the generic term that describes a variety of chemicals used to whiten clothes, lighten hair colors, and remove stains. Additionally, most types of bleach will disinfect and sterilize germs and bacteria.
BLEACH DOES WHAT IT DOES BEST- IT BLEACHES
REASON 1
Bleach only removes the color from visible mold. It provides a false sense of security that the mold has been removed.
BLEACH CAN ONLY REACH SURFACE MOLD
REASON 2
Bleach only reaches the mold on the surface. You need to kill and remove the underlying membrane to effectively remove the mold growth and prevent it from returning.
BLEACH CAUSES MORE MOLD GROWTH
REASON 3
When bleach is introduced to mold colonies, the mold recognizes the bleach as a threat and reacts. This means that it begins to reproduce at a rapid rate. It roots deeper and grows stronger.
CHLORINE BLEACH LOOSES ITS EFFECTIVENESS OVER TIME
REASON 4
Chlorine bleach rapidly loses its effectiveness. When exposed to air, chlorine evaporates. This means that you might have a bottle of bleach that is basically useless.
USING BLEACH TO KILL MOLD IS TOXIC
REASON 5
Chlorine bleach produces fumes that pollute the air and can become harmful to both humans and pets. Chlorine bleach also generates a by-product called dioxin, which is linked to cancer.
