Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi , One of the safest things to kill mold is hydrogen peroxide... The stuff you buy in the drug store... Just spray it on... Best to buy the 32 0z size, about $1, then also buy an empty quart spray bottle. Remove the spray head and put on the hydrogen peroxide bottle and spray away... Another thing that will kill all the mold is renting a room size ozone machine... You turn it on, keep windows and doors closed and leave it on and stay out of the room for a day.. Then, turn off the machine, open the windows and let air out for about an hour before using the room again... MJ did mention about MMS fumes I believe... I checked Jim Humble's book, the only mold he talks about is in the body... So I am not sure how much would need to be activated to kill mold spores.. I just found a link talking about mold spores and it needs to be killed by chlorine dioxide (MMS) gas... When you add MMS into a glass, then add the activator, this is when the gas is formed... But I have no idea how much MMS would be needed... I do know you would still need 5 times as much of the activator as that is what unlocks the 28% chlorine dioxide..
