Why would an antibacterial treatment help with mold (which is a fungus)?
To put this is context, fungi are more closely related to humans than
to bacteria.
A fair few additives kill both, including silver if it is a silver compound.
Well, yes. The trouble is that both fungi and bacteria are tough buggers
(as a general rule), so if it is effective against both it is probably
pretty toxic to *any* (terrestrial) cellular life form - including us.
Not really. Salicylic acid, zinc sulphate, copper sulphate, silver compounds etc.
