My supplier suddenly claims bleach wont kill mould
Permalink  
 

hey guys im buying 12.5% sh bleach and have been doing for a while...it cleans roofs great...

a new cleaning product by one of the biggest companies in Australia is claiming bleach does not kill mould but only turns it white by bleaching it...

my sh supplier claims the same thing that bleach will not kill mould, she does say that chlorine on the other hand will....

MY QUESTION IS???

if my 12.5% sh bleach has the same sh content as the chlorine why wouldnt it kill the mould??

bleach and chlorine both have the same active ingredient...sodium hypochlorite...

what do you guys reckon...is there a difference between bleach and chlorine if they both have 12.5% sh???

The chlorine in the 12.5% comes from the Hypochlorite ion. Thus it already contains chlorine. Chlorine by itself is a gas. Bleach is pretty much anything that oxidizes stuff.
They don't know what they are talking about unless you are buying ammonia bleach (which I doubt).
Bottom line... 12.5% SH contains chlorine .. it kills mold. The manufactiurer of the new product is just going on a typical bleach bashing rant. They want you to buy their stuff instead. Just ignore them.
I don't know of any plant (including mold) that will survive a good bleach soaking.

heres my two cents... 
The chlorine bleach we use "Lyses" the bacteria, mold, alien life form, whatever... which means it causes the cell wall to rupture thus killing it! The salt that is left upon evaporation sucks the life (moisture) out of any new life forms that land on the roof, until it is all washed away by rain that is.

our BLEACH is an ALGAE SLAYING ASSASIN!

Tell him to get some mold in a pot. Water it with bleach and see if it still grows (even though it's white) lol

confuse Heres another one that talks about roof cleaning and that the black stains are mold and it pops the roof granuales off , I think a lot of this has to do with companies that sell other methods of cleaning products have to put down SH so thier product sells just like Roof Be Clean , Cleaner Today(QSE) http://www.normi.org/articles/bleach-mold.php
