Why is it that all landlords think all they have to do is wash the wall swith bleach and the problem will go away.

Barbara Dahl, Consumer and Family Economics Educator, University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service says to use bleach and water.
Every bio-growth seminar I have attended disagrees with the use of bleach. "not just an inspection, but an education" www.homesweethomecincinnati.com Democracy is two wolves and a lamb. Liberty is a well-armed lamb. B. Franklin |

They seemed to be OK with Bleach and water until people started mixing it with detergent and what not. So I think to be on the safe side they just stopped recommending Bleach. It was always Ok to cut the bleach at one capfull of bleach for every 4 litres of water (just under a gallon). People started making funky gas!

Roy,
I believe what they're using is MICROBAN. Yes the guy's were also telling me that they are recommending Fantastic to the general public. |

The courses I attended all suggested that we should use a mild surfactant.
Around these parts that means "Dawn" dish soap. (P&G product--Cincinnati's own) "not just an inspection, but an education" www.homesweethomecincinnati.com Democracy is two wolves and a lamb. Liberty is a well-armed lamb. B. Franklin |
