Mold Chlorine Dioxide and Libraries

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

As some of you know I take chlorine dioxide to kill the fungus that has

accumulated over five years in my body. I found this article and wanted

to know what your thoughts are on cleaning books with chlorine

dioxide. Does it work? What do you think about the selective toxicity

of chlorine dioxide? In other words it tends to kill the bad stuff but

leave the good stuff.

I used the gas packs when I put all my toxic stuff in storage-

everything molded any way-maybe just too much humidity and air from

others moldy stuff. My husband was an old book collector-I used

everything to try and keep the mold off of leather books-somethings

moldy's just should not do-one is have book collections.

I TOTALLY agree! I am in the process of moving and I had TONS and TONS

of books. I started whipping them down and sun airing them but soon

realized I was getting ill each time I got them stirred up. I have

either sold or given most of mine away as of late. I have decided if I

need a book, I will go to the library. It is not worth keeping

something which will make one ill. I aways loved my books but it feels

so much lighter and better to not have the baggage and extra clutter of

books. I don't think I will miss them one bit! Unless one uses a book

quite ofter for reference, it is not worth having a bunch of books

laying around collecting dust and mold. I feel my books were my worst

enemy as far as the dust and mold even though I treasured them...but,

now they are in the hands of ones who will read and use them...no use

in collecting a bunch of stuff which makes me sick! The books did not

appear moldy but living in a house with mold, it is no telling what has

landed on them so I am rid of them.
