Idea
Bleach is the number one way to kill mold spores, and the Clorox Company is a front runner in the bleach department. But since bleach is not healthy to inhale, especially when used in confined spaces or over extended periods, it would seem like a good idea for Clorox to make a natural, non-hazardous mold killer using vinegar, tea tree oil or peroxide. Counterintuitive? No, especially if marketed under the Green Works label. This healthier alternative to a bleach based product would allow consumers to use the product on hard and soft surfaces and be safe to use around children and pets. Also, it would not need to be wiped or rinsed. It could be made available in a reusable spray bottle and in larger bottles of concentrated mold killer formula which can be diluted with water by the customer.

What an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing the link, and Clorox product development team would definitely check into those natural ingredients to eliminate mold. We like your idea so much that we marked it as our favorite of the week (see the front page at www.cloroxconnects.com under my favorite ideas this week and to see it highlighted).

I use baking soda in my drains to get rid of smell comming from them.I believe the smell to be mold &bactertia,it is the musty and stale odor comming out of them.I use baking soda or sodium bicarbonate,a couple heaping spoonfuls.I would much rather see a plastic shaker like comet has to distribute the baking soda with a large opening, at one end to take out tablespoons or teaspoons for baking.I dilute baking soda, when vinegar is not available in my house with a gallon tub of water. This is also used to clean continuously, in refrigerator,to get rid of mold.It has no bad smell for cleaning.Baking soda is used to keep our swimming pool's ph in balance with clorox.It is a degree of acidity or alkalinity that you have to keep in tack.I use baking soda to give my laundry soap a boost.,this is a non-toxic alternative to bleach.I would Like to see a productdevelped that has a large percentage of baking soda in it.

Good idea. Bleach smells bad and makes it hard for me to breath sometimes.

I used clorox inside on my cellar foundation where the dampness would cause some mold to form. Especially near the dryer where warm air was located. I would use a brush and pour the clorox directly on to the cellar foundation inside. The only problem in a couple weeks it would be back again. I think I needed a stronger product but the Clorox wasn't costly to use. I didn't want the smell of the mold to be inside our living quarters I shared with family.I would open the 4cellar windows before proceeding to pour clorox on walls ,because of the fumes from clorox.
