Diffusing Thieves
Why can’t I just use bleach?
1.
Bleach is 3-6% sodium hypochlorite and 94-97%
water.
2.
When the sodium hypochlorite evaporates, it
leaves water in its place and allows mold
colonies to begin forming again in 24 hours or
less.
3.
Bleach can be highly toxic, and is believed by
some authorities to migrate to the thyroid
where it may replace iodine and may damage or
diminish thyroid function.
4.
Bleach does not kill mold spores in the air or on
porous surfaces.
