about a month ago, my little sister had an accident (she peed her self) and my mom was out of town. so i just put all her peed on cloths in a bag. the thing is, we compleatly forgot about the bag and i start smelling this horrible smell comeing from the basement. so we go look, and we see a bag full of her cloths filled with what looks like some black mold with weird root like stuff growing out it.

I KNOW its DISCUSTING!!

so now its in the wash. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING to get it out

i’ve put regualar detergent, color safe bleach, EVEN regualar mold remover ment for bathrooms!!

so 3 things i need answers for:

1) what is the root like thing growing in the cloths
2) i know what black mold is, but is it toxic? how toxic is it? is it deadly?
3) do i have any hope in resoreing the cloths back, (she was wearing my favorite shirt!!!). if so, HOW?

thank you for your help!!

The rootlike stuff growing out of the clothes is probably a fungus. These sound like they’re too far gone to salvage. Happened to me once when the airlines lost my luggage for a while. Then, when they returned it to me, all the clothes were just covered with black spots. Apparently the luggage had been out in the rain somewhere in its travels before they finally found it and returned it to me. I tried everything and finally had to chuck all the clothes. And, that suitcase contained ALL the summer clothes of one of my kid and the majority of them were new cause I bought them for the vacation trip we took.

Sorry. I think you’re really outta luck here. It sounds like they’re not white clothes your talking about because then I’d say soak them in a bleach solution in the washer overnight. Or, if it was a small spot, I’d say to pour hydrogen peroxide on it and let it sit and that often works. But, this sounds too far gone. And, the bacteria from the pee sitting on the clothes, just breeding while enclosed in that bag —- well, that’s not good either.

I need to know ALL about mildew/mold. I want it removed, the black spots all over my shower, but they won’t come out no matter how hard you scrub, or no matter what you use, bleach, mold/mildew remover sprays, scrubs, they just wont come out.

WHY?

How do I know if it’s still alive or dead.

If its dead wouldnt it be easier to remove?

I need advice and help thanks!

Have you tried x-14 yet? the mold is on the outside of the wall correct? not coming from the inside?

As companies attempt to retrofit floor spaces walls, carpeting and vct tile are often removed or repositioned. As a result renovations often end up exposing large areas of adhesives, under laments, and spauling holes form anchors, studding and equipment. Now there is a solution with step by step instructions and help.

Often remodels can see no alternative but to reinstall similar adhesives and floor coverings like carpet and tile. Not only is this often expensive but provides pour ware and clean ability compared to hard Epoxy, Urethane and Glass emulsion services.

Even the most devastated floors can be brought up to level easy to maintain surfaces with hard long lasting seals that are attractive and cost effective. Renovators are often surprised how holes from old walls, and equipment stands can be made do disappear when filled with 100% solid epoxy and ground flush. The process is quick, easy and long lasting. Why would you fill with cheep cement products when you can get lasting results with the same or less labor, using epoxy fillers.

If concrete is exposed to ware it will eventually deteriorate. Friction ware, erosion, and contamination all can play a role in seeing a serviceable floor create problems. Dust, cracks, crumbling, ruff surfaces, and the inability to keep the environment clean are symptoms of a floor that has not been protected and is moving towards an unserviceable condition. Carpeting often hold your contaminants in place and can be a growth medium for mold and mildew. Vinyl tile can not hold up under heavy wheeled traffic, is subject o lifting when wet, and has a soft finish which too often is contaminated by solvents and dies.

Laminated coatings can create a ware barrier between a floor and its environment. These laminated services not only keep the concrete from warring but also provide a protective plate between it and its environment. Contaminants, and hazards, like PCB’s heavy metals, toxic chemicals and the like are kept out to porous concrete with a protective plastic layer. If applied well these laminated surfaces can provide decades of protection and service.

Durall Industial Flooring has installed floors that have provided over a decade of ware in high activity industries like Printing. Multi million dollar presses need to run 24/7 to pay for their high investment costs. There is no opportunity for shut downs and repairs or resurfacing. Companies like Japs Olson Printing have decade old Durall floors that are used 24hours a day, an are still protecting the concrete from ware, and are providing a clearable slow dust environment. The same is true for Airlines, Food processing plants and Breweries served by Durall Industial Flooring.

If your industry requires long ware and service you need to do the job right the first time. You need to protect your investment in your floors, and your long-term ability to keep in production.

A contractor has told me he wants to use this on our mold problem and is billing us for two ounces of it @ $800 per ounce. I have researched the product and cannot find out anything about it and am wondering if this is legit and how much it really does cost. It would be great if a contractor could give me an answer. He has also told us that only a contractor can buy this.

contact other contractors and ask them for their input.
