I am planning an attic mold cleanup-- Conventional wisdom is to use
bleach and water, but when I google it... I get a lot of hits saying
that it is a myth that Bleach kills mold.

The EPA brochure does little to clear it up.

Anyone with any real-world experience or other good info.


I can say for certain it turns it a perly white As for wether or not
its dead, I couldn't say. I don't see why bleach would kill mold, its
not that harsh of a chemical. Perhaps thats why we like to use it.




I suggest that you thoroughly wash your hands in
concentrated bleach and then say it isn't harsh.
That soapy slimy feeling is your skin dissolving.
