Kathryn,
If mold releases toxins as it is dying why not just air the area out
until the mold is dead? Secondly, chlorine dioxide (made from sodium chlorite)
is not chlorine. It is several times stronger than chlorine but it breaks down
into salt and water basically.

Bad idea, Renee, if they have a lot of mold- mold usually releases toxins
when it dies, and sometimes those can be seriously dangerous. It is recommended
to remove, not kill mold, to prevent that.
I have used a variety of things to detoxify ambient mold and/or toxins after
removal. My criteria for effectiveness was my personal sensitivity.
Last time I checked chlorine in any form was not effective in killing mold -
it bleaches it, but does not kill more than the surface mold, which is why
removal is so important. It is also not so easy to find the hidden reservoirs,
if that is what is making her sick. It is possible more info has come out in
the last couple of years that i have not heard about; I am aware of some
controversy around the chlorine use also.
Best wishes, Kathryn

Someone was asking about killing mold in their home and I remembered
the talk about the solid sodium chlorite products that mix with moisture in the
air and make chlorine dioxide which penetrates walls, closets, etc and kills
mold. I've looked through my saved messages and can't find it. Must have a
different subject line that I can come up with. There was also mention of a
web site that sells the same type product to rid boats of mold. I've googled
boats and mold but have only come up with sites that teach about making your
own TSP/bleach solutions to paint on.
The lady that is asking about this is too ill to mix this up and
paint or spray it on. So I thought perhaps she could use some of the solid
products, leave the house for a few days, and get someone to go open the house
and air it out.
Anyone remember which sites those products were on?
Good--bad idea?
