USING CHLORINE BLEACH TO KILL MOLD. Do not use ineffective chlorine bleach to try to kill mold growth and mold spores. Bleach is too weak even when freshly manufactured to kill mold. Bleach that sits on store shelves and in your home continually gets ever weaker over the passage of time. In addition, read the manufacturer’s usage directions on the bleach container. The manufacturer does not recommend its use to kill mold. Bleach is NOT an EPA-registered fungicide or effective mold home remedy.

Contrary to popular belief bleach should NOT be used to kill mold. As the earlier writer noted, mold will release spores when contacted by a toxic chemical. It's a reproduction mechanism. That's why you'll end up with more mold, in different spots, after using bleach on it. In addition, bleach is proven not to seep to the roots or hyphae of mold. So it only kills on the surface. I know we're not supposed to mention/flout product names, but look into a new Home Depot product called Concrobium Mold Control. It contains no bleach or any other nasty substances. As it dries on the surface it kills mold. And stays on to stop it from coming back. Also: best way to permanently cure yourself of mold is to reduce the humidity and water levels on the surface - mold won't propogate in dry conditions. Good luck.

Be careful. Mold is a living organism. When you try to kill the organism wants to survive and will reproduce spores as fast as it can. They will become air born. Yes, bleach kills the mold. Excellent in a "shower". However if it is in ,say your ceiling,you MUST eliminate the source of moisture FIRST. Mold spores are in our air . They need moisture to colonize. Eliminate moisture first then kill the mold. I speak from painful experience.

I don't know where your mold is but I used to keep a spray bottle of 1/2 bleach and 1/2 water in my shower and spray around the caulk where the tub met the tiles every so often where mold tended to want to grow. It worked for me.

On clothes - try limon juice ( from a real one) -
just squirt the juice out on the item and let it set in the sun a few hours - its hard to get mold out of clothes once it drys

It works great, takes it right out and turns the surface white. Be careful on painted surfaces. You might have to repaint.
