all about Mold Remediation
2004 university study reports that
bleach does NOT kill mold!!!
"While bleach is often recommended for
remediation of surface mold on wood, our [university research study]
results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface
microflora," is the conclusion of the Oregon State University
study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir
wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon]. The research
study was conducted by Professor Jeffrey Morrell, Dept. of Wood
Science, Oregon State University, as assisted by Adam Taylor [graduate
research assistant] and Camille Freitag [Senior Research Associate],
as published in Forest Products Journal, 54:4, 2004.

Just four words neatly
summarize what has to be done in effective and safe mold removal and mold remediation:
CONTAIN, KILL, REMOVE, and PROTECT.
(1) CONTAIN
the mold from spreading into uncontaminated areas;
(2) KILL
the mold;
(3) REMOVE
the dead mold; and
(4) PROTECT
the cleaned out area against future mold infestations.
