getting rid of mold

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all your replies.

I tried washing my clothes with clorox for colors and it seems to

have worked.

I am now trying to replace my important documents. My passport got

molded, and so are my personal checks, etc. What a nightmare!!!

I am trying to fins a new apt. in NYC, so I can be free of mold at

last.

My health is improving. I think that detox and a good diet helped.

Doctors didn't. But I can't even get close to mold or I'll get rashes

and feel sick again.

I pray that we all get over this soon.

this diet.

The tidbit that the oil is like plastic in my body was just what I needed to

help me leave them alone. So, once again, I so appreciate your help and wisdom.

mold. During a freeze last winter water pipes in the ceiling of the kitchen

burst, and flooded. The water was turned off, the plumbing and ceiling fixed,

but now, just as I am about to move back in (in 2 weeks), my friends who went in

to clean says that there is mold on the walls behind the cabinets, and on some

of the shelves. I think it is the green mold, but I haven't seen it myself.

sensitive, but it dawned on me today that they company may use chemicals to get

rid of the mold, and that might be worse. I didn't know if there is a type of

company or product to use that would take care of it without leading to any

other concerns.

care of then the boards and dry wall will have to be replaced. Any of ideas

would be of help.

+++Hi ,

There are companies that do not use toxic chemicals to get rid of mold.

Also a friend or family member who isn't sensitive to molds can clean it for

you, using 3% hydrogen peroxide. Here's the instructions, but I think it is too

strong to use full strength, and it isn't necessary. Instead dilute it by using

1/3rd H202 and 2/3rd water in a spray bottled:

Other substances that are safe to use for mold are white vinegar and baking soda

- look up recipes for them on the internet.
