Yesterday Enviro USA, Inc shared a blog about the health risks of bleach, today we are going to be talking about the structural damage that bleach can cause to your client’s properties.

Using bleach might seem like the fastest easiest cleaner, but in the long run you run the risk of damaging and possibly replacing very expensive surfaces for your client.

Never try to remove mold, the water component of bleach, however, does penetrate the dry wall or wood, which fosters further mold growth. Chlorine bleach will discolor or whiten the surface, leading the building occupant to believe the problem is solved – until the mold reappears.

As stated by OHSA please see below link to the OHSA Mold Remediation page.

In 2017 there are many replacements for bleach that work just as effectively. Do your research and talk with your crew to see what other cleaners work for them.

Changing to a less corrosive cleaners will save you and your client headaches and money.
