If you have a very bad allergy to one kind of mold get some one who is not allergic to clean it up,you Other than that,youcan kill any mold with bleach! SO many people have bought into the mold scare and spent every dime they had to have some clowns come in wearing has-mat suits and rip there homes apart, A garden sprayer and a strong bleach/water mix costs less than $20.** Please don't buy into the BULL !
Answer:
80% of mold can be killed by using bleach yes… BUT! it also depends on what kind of mold it is and where the mold is growing and if it's toxic mold or not, if it's toxic mold the % is roughly the same with bleach expect with a toxic mold called Stachybotrys (or Stachy for short which is by far the worst toxic mold there is)
Stachybotrys is still in debate among many mold professionals, doctors, etc. stachybotrys often has a germ mycelium that is buried inside the water damaged area that is often in accessible to bleach and chlorine. Bleach often does not kill Stachybotrys entirely when directly applied to it the right thing to do is buy a EPA approved black mold cleaner and if it is in the drywall and hard to get areas than you need to have a professional remove it because Stachybotrys can cause VERY serious health affects that may not go away for months or years if you have full blown contact with it that is why when doing Stachybotrys removal in dry walls and other hard to get areas the professional will wear suits and mask.

I'm interested in more information. Could you provide any links or sources? (I'm serious, not doubting you.) You can send a message through my profile or add some details here and I'll check back. Thanks.
Answer:
Yes, it will kill it, but nor prevent it from coming back. If there is excessive moisture in a house, the mold will keep coming back until the moisture problem is taken care of. But I agree with you, people don't need to spend crazy amounts of money. Clean it, kill it, take care of the moisture. It can be really bad for you though. My son has asthma and we had a mold scare that really worked him over. Luckily he wave good landlords and a shiny new de-humidifier.
Answer:
A Scam??? Did you go to college? Why dont you live in a home with stachybotrys(toxic mold) for one year and see if its a scam yourself. Or better yet tell this one mother that her 8 year old son suffered brain damage from a scam. Most ignorant people like you think its an alergic reaction to mold that people go through once they are exposed to toxic mold. However one day you will realize that stachybotrys produces the same poisons (tricothecene) that are used in some biologic chemical weapons such as Yellow Rain and other horrendous neuro-toxic chemical weapons. You better pray that you never ever get exposed to this "scam"!!!
