Guest guest Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Has anyone ever used this product? It seems to be very good. How do I use something like this in my car to get the smell out when I run the air etc? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Deb, It does look pretty good. However, it claims to only kill mold not remove or denature it. Therefore it can stop infections but not any of the other health concerns associated with mold, mold spores, mold growth, mold fragments, and all the emanations. Mold still needs to be removed, whether dead or alive. Which makes it difficult for car air conditioners. Another product which I've successfully used " seems " to do more than kill mold. It is citracidal (grapefruit seed extract) which is the active ingrediant in NutriBiotic. It can be found in health food stores in a 2 oz white plastic bottle with red lettering. It will say it's for internal use only. Mix in a trigger sprayer at twice the concentration listed on the bottle. Spray it into the air intake (usually along the bottom of the windshield with the A/C on high and the air flow from the outside through the vents near the face. Repeate with the air flow through the floor vents. Almost all the spray will hit surfaces and not go through the A/C but if you use about 1/3 cup with each application enough usually gets through to do the job. If it is better but not sufficient then repeat. If the second attempt isn't sufficient then you'll have to go to a repair shop so they can circulate a larger quantity of the NutriBiotic through the system. BTW, usually the smell in a car A/C is bacteria, not mold. But the NutriBiotic works just as well on that. Which makes if very effective for many odors, at least the ones from microbes rather than outgassing of products. Carl Grimes Healthy Habitats LLC ----- Has anyone ever used this product?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just wanted to say Carl recommended this to me a while back and it worked! My car's AC is mildy moldy but too much for me and it's a brand new car so there's no replacing it yet. I tried the spray and it works. Now I do it every couple of months to keep it fresh. It's the only thing that i can do right besides keeping the windows open all the time! Thanks Carl! > > Deb, > > It does look pretty good.
