Mold Disinfectant
Some Facts About Mold Most of us
have heard of mold, but don't really know much about it. Until
it makes it sick, or we notice that something in our
refrigerator or cupboard has grown a layer of green fuzz, we
don't really think about it. The fact is mold is a living fungus
that exists all around us. It grows in our houses, often unseen,
and we should really have a good mold disinfectant on hand.
Mold spreads easily because it sends out tiny
spores that the air carries everywhere. The spores are invisible
and their goal in life is to be warm, damp, and find food. The
trouble is many common materials in our homes are what give them
life. Things we take for granted as part of our daily lives such
as clothing, carpet, wallpaper, ceiling tiles, dust, and books,
when existing in the right temperature and humidity cause mold
to flourish and spread unless treated by a mold
disinfectant. Not everyone experiences
symptoms when exposed to mold, just as not everyone reacts to
pollen in the air during the spring and summer, or cat dander
all of the time. Even if this is true in your case, it doesn't
mean that it's healthy to be breathing mold. Some possible
ill-effects are runny nose, itching or burning eyes, cough,
asthma, or other respiratory problems. Go online or contact your
