Ammonia kills mold

Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia kills mold

ammonia

Avatar n tn Generally ammonia will destroy this kind of mold. I know people recommend other liquids, but ammonia is the way to go. Before using the ammonia the room should be "dewatered" with use of one of more dehumidifiers. These molds like moist places. In the case of a school, professional help is advised, but in a bathroom use a spray bottle with 100% ammonia, go in, hold your breath and spray a three foot by three foot area. You should practice this.
1855970 tn?1325823613 I have an issue with black mold in my bedroom, right behind a tall heavy shelf unit. When I walk into the room, I can smell mold right away. I sleep in there every night. Within the past week or so, I started feeling like I have a shortness of breath. I also noticed I have pain and pressure behind my eyes, at my jaw joint, and along my jaw line. I also have excess mucus, but I'm not coughing and I don't have a runny/snuffy nose.
Avatar m tn For yourself, take Milk Thistle and a liver detox. This should help you get over the mold sickness. (Do not mix clorox and ammonia as they cause burned lungs and gas fumes!
790421 tn?1341230131 Mold is never a good thing to have in your house. Spray it with bleach water, as bleach kills mold. Also, change the filter in your furnace/air conditioner frequently with filters that capture mold. I would also suggest investing in an air purifier.
Avatar n tn A dehumidifier will also keep the moisture level down. And cdrack the windows. Mold grows well on windowsills. Ammonia will also work quite well but MIXING AMMONIA AND BLEACH PRODUCES A DEATH CLOUD. NEVER MIX THE TWO. EVER! You might also egg your parents to purchase an electrostatic dus particle eliminator for your room at home with what is called a HEAP filter. They are kind of expensive, though. But they will reduce your exposure to the particles that cause the inflammation.
Avatar m tn Hes soiledsystem, if you indeed had high ammonia in your blood, it could sort of add up to my urea theory, in a sense that by some bacteria and fungi urea gets converted to ammonia and carbomate, by an enzyme called Urease. And most people should not have high Ammonia, as it should be converted back to Urea by an enzyme called "carbamoyl phosphate synthase" to be excreted. But what if a pathogenic organism that is causing our symptoms is also feeding on ammonia?
Avatar n tn after 2 weeks with no relief i returned to the medics and am now using tretinoin cream and ammonia lactate lotion. still nothing seems to help the itching. i also found mold growing in my air conditioning unit and wondering if this could have somthing to do with my condition. im desprete for a cure for the itching, it is so bad i am not able to sleep at night most of the time and also makes it hard for me to do my job. thanks!
Avatar m tn YOU can watch the mold MOVE and contort and release spores as it is being killed....
Avatar m tn The mold under the pain has to be removed by sanding to bare sheetrock, spraying with ammonia, which will evaporate, and repainting. Also a dehumidifier will help as the mold likes moist places. I had a lot of mold when I moved in and this was what I did. The entire bathroom had black mold.
465944 tn?1208666955 Mold is an awful thing to deal with, my exposure was not black mold but I became extremely ill. All due to a leaking hot water tank that created mold. My home has been stripped and cleaned, have yet to replace everything but that's OK. What I found to help after tons of research is something called Oreganol P73, it kills fungi in our bodies. Most all illness is caused by a fungi so it has other healing properties and is awesome for sinus problems.
1694467 tn?1306349372 This is the best way to remove black mold from a bathroom, using ammonia. In the case of black mold, do three square feet before leaving for work every morning. By evening the fumes will be gone, as well as the mold. After the disinfecting get a heat gun (similar to a blow drier) and one square foot at a time, heat the walls. These "guns", used to lay tile, may be rented at stores. This method is especially useful when destroying eggs of insects. The high heat will destroy eggs.
11294269 tn?1422402907 Do not use bleach! Bleach is super and great for many things, more effective than what the hospital uses, but it does not kill mold and will ruin your car rug. Borax kills mold, it's cheap, non toxic, no fumes, etc. I even drink a pinch of it in water every so often. I am allergic to mold I totally get your freaking out and don't worry about thus far, mold spores are everywhere!
Avatar f tn I noticed mold in the bathroom. Can I bleach the walls myself if I turn on the fan. Or do I really need to wait on my lazy slowass husband. I wake up in the middle of night and cant breath, I would hate for it to turn into a sever mood sporing issue, I am 19 w and want this stuff gone before baby comes, however I dont want to suffer in the mean time. I don't think bleaching should be that bad if I where a mask. What do u think?
598816 tn?1219542566 I guess I have adverse reactions to ammonia products and pretty much any household cleaner with chemicals in it. Toxic mold can also create problems. My sister had recurring bronchitis and ear infections, as well did her 2 kids, several years ago when she rented a house that had a mold issue in their basement (they got out of it and immeddiately stopped having colds, infections, etc.). Another thing that I have heard that can cause problems is high CO (carbon monoxide) levels.
Avatar m tn I am ntothe first person here who has stated they do not beleive ELIMITE KILLS them..your dermatologist may think it kills them..but it DOESNT. if you are LUCKY it will kill them....to PROVE I had some form of MITE (that can not be seen) I applied a SPRAY that kills BEDBUGS and ALL forms of MITES...now--this is faitly UNSAFE--you should NOT apply a spray meant for the carpet to your body--the FUMES can cause you to pass out--but I was desperate and could NOT stop itching..
675923 tn?1296238011 Did you know that undiluted white vinegar will kill mold? It is also a great household disinfectant, since it also kills bacteria. And, it doesn't harm the environment or add toxins to pollute your home environment. I wrote down the names of the tests that the other person posted, because I'm affected by so many allergens myself, and the skin tests just weren't all that helpful, since my skin didnt react to things that I know do affect me.
Avatar f tn you might want to have a sputum test done if the dr helping you hasn't done this you may be getting the wrong antibiotic .in wich case you will not get rid of your problem first you should try to identify the pathogen dr's can be wreckless throwing anibiotics around like chicklets.all bacteria have become resistant because of this .so if you don't know what your treating see if you can identify it first if not then try a fungal test they are a specific test that needs to be ordered .
Avatar n tn Well what I need to know from everyone how do I convence her the black mold should come first and what resources can I find to get this fixed before the black mold kills
Avatar n tn How many of you with breathing problems have MOLD in the home?? I am in the middle of a lawsuit with a landlord because of covering up mold in my rental ..I lived there 5 years and have spent 3 years steady studing mold. Please if you have any breathing problems (main complaint) or skin edema) please search your home for mold ...check under sinks,walls,tubs and showers ..everywhere of get someone to test your home.
Avatar m tn All medications have so many side effects. Asprin can effect liver function as well. It sounds like you are having a problem with mold growing and only a doctor can treat it. I really hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Yep. These are things I already do myself. I rarely eat baked goods at all, though, because of the gluten issues. I'm fine with it, though, really. I'm not all that into baked goods, so it's not a problem for me. Nevertheless, it's still a great idea to do it oneself. I actually would do it some if it weren't for the high cost of the gluten free flour options. No problem, though, since I actually am satisfied enough without the stuff.
Avatar f tn Has the Black mold been completely removed? Pure Bleach kills mold, since you are allergic I would make the landlord pay for this. Mold cannot grow without a water source. Are there any leaks? If so they must be repaired if you are still living with this mold and you are allergic to it. Re-infecting yourself on a daily basis. Five medications a day for how long? Was it just to get you well again? If so....I would follow the Doctor's orders when it comes down to not being able to breathe!
Avatar m tn if there is mold or bacteria in the clothes, it starts to smell as soon as the fabric gets warmed up. For me, its not poop, but sweat. In that case, I take the evil stinky shirt and dumb it over night in a bucket with white vinegar and water (you should smell the vinegar). Then I wash it, and also add some vinegar into the liquid compartment of the machine. To dry, I hang it out into the sun. The whole procedure kills the smelly bacteria and every stinky residue left.
