In addition to this, mixing chlorine bleach with ammonia, drain cleaners, cleansers, or any other similar chemical produces chlorine gas, which can be very harmful to health.

When in the gaseous state, chlorine bleach produces a byproduct called dioxin, recognized as a cancer-causing compound. There are many reasons for this and mainly because, using bleach to treat or clean mold can jeopardize your health.Ĭommon household bleach is not necessarily toxic, but prolonged exposure to bleach can be very harmful to humans. Should you use bleach to clean mold at all?Įxperts advise that you should never use bleach to clean mold, whether on a porous or non-porous surface. The fact is that bleach might work well on a non-porous surfaces like tiles, sinks etc., it is not worth trying due to the numerous health hazards associated with it. So, in a few days or weeks, the mold regains its color and grows back to become even worse than it was before you applied the bleach. Bleach quickly dries off on the surface and will not reach into the deeper part of the material to the mold’s root. So when you apply bleach to such a surface, you are merely changing the mold’s color on the surface. However, when mold grows on a porous material like wood or drywall, it spreads its root deep into the material to reach more nutrients. This is because the roots of the mold do not penetrate through this surface and so it is easily wiped off. The primary function of bleach is to disinfect (chlorine bleach) and to bleach (change color).Ĭhlorine bleach can help eliminate mold on hard non-porous surfaces like sinks, bathtubs, tiles, or glass. The idea that bleach will help completely get rid of the mold in your home is a common misconception that has been sold by big bleach marketing agencies and websites.

So it only makes sense that once you notice mold, you want to get rid of it immediately. Not only does it stain surfaces within the house, causing your space to look very unpleasant, it can also cause damage to your structures by eating away at your building materials like walls and furniture.

#Bleach wash how to
I’m trying to get a hold of an X-E1 so I can build some recipes specifically for the the X-Trans I sensor and of course a new camera for X-Trans IV sensor recipes as well.The first thing that comes to mind when you notice you have mold in the house is how to get rid of it.

If you like the “bleach bypass” vibe and don’t have one of the latest cameras that have that look built in then give this recipe a try. The DR100 and AUTO WB settings make a really flexible recipe to shoot in a variety of lighting situations.
#Bleach wash pro
Pro Negative High is the base of this recipe. This should work on X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras as well as everything after. Just like Bleach Wash 1 I created this on my X-T1 but I tried to keep this recipe compatible with as many X-Series cameras as possible. Ever since I created my first Bleach Wash recipe I knew I wanted to revisit this look and create another variation.
