Why a non toxic solution is better than bleach or ammonia when dealing with mould.

In itself mould is already a partially toxic substance. It has the ability to cause allergic reactions and many different respiratory problems, which makes it a very dangerous substance to have lingering in your home. With this in mind it may cross your mind that it may not be the best idea to treat a toxic substance with another.

Bleach is a very powerful substance which can kill practically any variation of mould in your home. It works fast and produces visibly good results but it comes at a price. Being filled with chemicals makes it a dangerous chemical to work with. The solution can severely irritate the skin and gives off toxic fumes. In comparison a non toxic solution, such as the MoGo Damp Seal, has no chemicals in the solution so it cannot emit fumes.

Similar to bleach, ammonia is also a highly toxic solution which also has the power to destroy practically any form of mould. Though it is a different element on its own, all the properties it has match closely with bleach down to the toxic fumes it releases. Even more dangerous than ammonia and bleach is to put the two together. When mixed the solution produces an even more toxic fumes which can have major effects on your health.

Acting in the safest way to protect your loved ones means that you need a solution which not only does the job thoroughly but it also poses no threat to vulnerable family members, children or pets too. Having a non toxic product to treat mould doesn't mean that there is a lower level of results. Just as effective, if not more so, a non toxic solution can work deeper into the mould and into the roots rather than just covering the surface.

Bleach and ammonia do not contain the properties to penetrate materials or surfaces so they are only effective on non porous materials. Working across the surface they can kill everything in their path but the mould will soon grow back as the roots have been left untouched. When using a non toxic combination the mould can be treated from tip to root and destroyed completely. By then adding a protective transparent barrier over the surface being treated will prevent any form of mould from re-growing on that area.

The mould substance also has the property to act as an irritant. Resulting in red rashes and itchy skin. Mould causes reactions very much like allergic reactions. Although skin irritation is not the most severe out of the possible ailments resulting from mould it can vary in severity depending on the person's age and current state of health.

As well as external conditions, mould can also be the cause for other internal problems in the human body. One of which is the onset of asthma attacks. The mould spores in the environment can result in a tightening of the chest and produce an atmosphere where it can be difficult to breathe. Although the occurrences of this happening is rare it is still possible.

In addition to the onset of asthma attacks, mould spores can also lead to a number of fungal infections. The most common infections are in the sinuses and the digestive tract. Though the risk is higher for those who have a weak immune system or another ailment reducing their ability to fight illnesses the chances are still very real for anyone to obtain an infection from the mould spores.

Knowing Your Options For Removing Mould

With any household problem, the key to finding a permanent solution for mould and mildew is to find the source of the problem. When you deal with the source you will find that the repercussions will be much less persistent. Even after the cause has been found you still need to clean up all the mould from your home, several options available to you.

Bleach - When cleaning up mould, bleach can be highly effective. It can destroy practically any type of indoor mould. As well as being a hazardous chemical to work with, bleach has its own drawback in that it can only work effectively on non-porous materials such as tiles and glass. Bleach cannot penetrate through materials, so it is only suitable for use on a few substrates. Attempting to use bleach on  porous surfaces is not advisable because although the surface may look cleaner the roots of the mould will be left untouched beneath the surface.

Ammonia - Just as toxic as bleach, ammonia is also efficient at removing mould on a non porous surface. The fast results come at a price and comes with a warning to keep completely clear from bleach. The combination of the two creates highly toxic fumes.

Vinegar - Used often enough around the home, vinegar is an easily obtained option. Being acidic, vinegar can kill around 82% of mould varieties within the home. Unlike bleach, vinegar does not emit any toxic fumes and does not pose a threat to you or your family. The best choice is white distilled vinegar, which can be bought cheaply in a supermarket. Though it is less effective than other treatment's for mould it is friendly towards your family and your bank balance.

Non Toxic Solutions - Although many mould removal products on the market are hazardous,  there are also other highly effective products which do not offer the same level of threat. Non toxic solutions such as  MoGo Mould Remover and Damp Seal are fast acting treatments which often surpass the results of its toxic rivals. With the ability to absorb the moisture from the surface, these non hazardous solutions can produce long lasting results and create a barrier to help prevent any reoccurrence.
