Barbara O'Neill Explaining why to not put bleach on mold.
Discover how chlorine bleach tackles mold on nonporous surfaces like tiles, glass, and sinks. However, using it on porous surfaces can worsen mold growth. Learn why simply cleaning the surface might not be enough.
When mold infests porous materials like wood or drywall, it digs deep for nutrients, making bleach application ineffective. Understand why bleach merely alters surface mold color without reaching its roots. Without deeper penetration, mold can quickly rebound, becoming even more resilient.
why vinegar is a game-changer in mold eradication compared to bleach. Vinegar penetrates mold roots, reducing its likelihood of recurrence, unlike bleach. Plus, it's safer for household use due to lower toxicity levels. However, remember that not all mold types succumb to vinegar, as indicated by a 2015 study.
