Has Anyone Used these products?

[Guest guest]

Has any one used these products to help get mold " spores " out or off of clothes,

wood furniture, etc?  Course they all say they work, but I have spent lots of

money we don't have to only be very disapointed and depressed over the whole

thing.  So I would like to hear from people who have actually used these

products and how well they work.

 

Shockwave

Benefect Biotanical Disinfectant

IAMQ ( I could have the letters wrong on this one......lot my notes some where)

 

Thanks Shonda

I've heard of shockwave but not BBD or IAMQ. Personally I purchased a couple of

bottles of Microban from a mold remediater to wash my clothes in. Actually I use

detergent, borax and microban

I have read about Benefect. I can't find it now, but somewhere, I vaguely

recall that it might have actually been approved as safe for ductwork????? It

has been some months, but that one tidbit stood out in my mind as different than

other products. It is based on thyme oil - thymol. I LIKE the sound of it, but

haven't put money down on it either.

Tug,

If it is true as you say that you used Microban to launder your clothes then

that is the most likely reason why your reactivity cannot be controlled.

You are always exposed to a known chemical trigger which was improperly used in

the mold remediation. If you continue to use it because of ongoing " mold "

reactions then it will seem like you have been cross-contaminating mold. While

that may also be true it would also be true you are directly and repeatedly

contaminating with a chemical.

One connection between them is mold gives off VOCs which are chemicals in the

same family as some of those in Microban and other antimicrobial products. They

are also in most cleaning and personal care products. You will keep getting

triggered all over the place.

A very moldy MCS friend of mine gifted me a bottle of Moldergent by Green Bean.

If it weren't so expensive, I'd get more of it and use it on everything. She

was able to tolerate it easily. It never made her dizzy, even when she was at

her worst level of MCS. It leaves a faint, natural, minty (I think) scent, that

just smells kinda heavenly compared to the stench of mold leftover odors. I

have to note that she gave me a spray bottle of what was supposed to be the SAME

stuff, but it definitely had a more " chemically " smell to it, and that one did

make her woozy, so she gave it to me, and I use it sparingly until I can see if

I tolerate it well.

I have used the Moldergent on the worst items washing 2-3 times with an extra

rinse, and it has removed any odors that I can detect. I don't consider myself

a canary with odors, merely a sentinel. However, I am the only one who can

smell musty odors in my children's school!

Thank you Carl, I came to the conclusion that I've used microban in my laundry

for the last time. I plan on using detergent and either borax and or vinegar.

I've using borax since the mold contamination, hopefully I can continue using

it.

Let us know if the borax and vinegar remove the Microban or if you have to

replace them.

I've come to the conclusion fewer chemicals is far better for overall

health.

I'm at the point I mostly use white vinegar, vodka, baking soda, borax,

salt, or an old citrus fruit for most all cleaning purposes. I am still

using a commercial yet supposedly natural based laundry detergent and dish

detergent. In place of window cleaner I've been using a multi-surface

cleaner made using 5 parts water, 5 parts white vinegar and 2 parts vodka.

I even bought vanilla beans to make my own vanilla extract (couple beans cut

lengthwise placed in a jar of vodka) and use some of my natural vanilla

extract to scent my multi-purpose cleaner.

We've found by cutting back on over-processed foods we no longer need to use

deodorant, antiperspirant nor most other personal hygiene products. Instead

of commercial lotions we use a homemade mix containing a variety of skin

soothing items, some examples are avocado, almond or olive oil as a base

then sometimes either vitamin E oil, tea tree oil, honey or calendula

petals, etc as other ingredients depending on our needs...

We discovered the truth about sunshine, vitamin d and natural skin

protection so we never slather on sunscreen anymore. We learned the truth of

avoiding overprocessed bleached and brominated commercialized products, we

now use and consume more natural, whole grain foods. These changes have

helped our bodies not need so many chemicals... to the point that other than

chronic complications stemming from some operations a few years ago, I am

now healthier than I have been at any other time in my life.

It's fun going shopping and know we aren't wasting our hard earned income on

all the commercialized products. It takes me less time to make our own

cleaners than it takes me to run to the store to buy a bottle of commercial

product... AND it's soo much less expensive and it's soo much healthier!

So, is ammonia on the good end or the bad end of things? I use it on selective

items -- NOT everything.

I have used it in the wash for some upholstery fabrics that I can't get rid of

yet, and I often run a second wash cycle as more rinsing.

I used ammonia and dawn dish washing soap to wash my cloths,ect. it worked for

me. just dont breath the fumes comeing out of the bottle.

once you get it in the water and diluted it's not to bad. after cloths are dry

theres very little smell of any kind, except freash smell. works for some of us.
