Wretched New Members/Re: Some Basics (Questions)

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Surella.

Im going to try advocates formula in bathroom and see how it goes.. if not..

I am still using benefect (which is thyme oil) to clean the bathroom. We've been

dusting with theives cleaner and I love the way it smells. Not sure ig is

killing a thing and if so if it is breaking the spores into fragments but we are

wiping them away as well.

For new location, we are getting a sparse amount of cheap pine furniture that we

are finishing with some VOC free substance.. so the furniture can be dusted.

I want to get away as clean as I can and see how that effects me. I dont know if

I have the nerve, desire to keep much after this experience. Trying to be open

minded about storing some things. The idea of a reintroduction phase is

overwhelming to me, but maybe later on it will not be.

You are right. These kinds of things we can learn as we go. Thank you.

> Robin- I'm just a regular person and not an expert so maybe I can tell you

what I do. When I can, I remove the piece with the mold (books in the basement,

ruined piece of sheetrock) and when I can't I clean it with bleach. This works

for me. Period. I know it's not what everyone recommends.

> If the anti-fungals work for you, then use them. See if they work. You will

know when you don't get sick again. (That's what most people here are trying to

help you with-we have all tried stuff that didn't work and became sick again and

it's so frustrating!)

> I can't use that stuff so I stick to bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Sometimes

when the mold is just on the surface of things and not through and through a

little cleaning is all it needs. Who cares what's dead or what's not dead-all I

want is not to be sick!

> YOU have to be the judge here! Please don't feel overwhelmed. Sometimes there

is too much info here (even my post is running too long)and when you are sick

it's impossible to read alot.

> Good luck!
