Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I would like to know if anyone here has had the first-hand experience with that anti-mold preparation called " Shockwave " or some similar Mildewcide / fungicide specialized for both porous and non-porous surfaces, and which is advertised as being superior to bleach regarding antifungal effects? I am trying to find a way to get rid of mold and its toxins on the interior of a car, some chairs in my flat and perhaps several clothing items. So far I tried bleach, bleach combined with sea salt, some herbs' incense etc. and results were relatively satisfactory only for the car: at least my dad can use the car without cross-contaminating me. The chairs in my flat and any clothes that come into contact with them (which is usually unintentionaly) is another story altogether: after almost 3 years of first exposure to mold they have remained contaminated and are capable of contaminating everything they 'touch'. Bleach, salt, EVEN the bleach + sodium hydroxide combination ... none of them work in killing this mold on the chairs. Unfortunately I am not allowed to throw the chairs away, the parents won't allow that. So I was wondering if there's any antifungicide better than bleach that has been proven to work on porous things such as upholstered furniture? The further inconvenience is that I live in an East European country, so I usually cannot order online the advertised antifungicides which are mainly produced for USA... Or, is there anything else I might use which can be made from common household chemicals? I'm thinking about borax and concentrated H2O2, as I have seen them recommended on some websites, but I somehow doubt they'll be strong enough for this level of contamination. Any help is appreciated. Branislav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
