Moldy basements

Now, I don't want to say that this is a cure all, but it's a start, and it's relatively cheap: bleach. For starters, it will clear out everything that's already there, if you scrub thoroughly enough. The best thing to do is add a cup of it to a bucket of water and start going. The fumes are horrendous, though, so you need ventilation, or you need to take breaks. And bleach can be dangerous, as in use rubber gloves and never get your nose too close. But here in Florida mold grows on the mop I put outside to dry. And I mean MUSHROOMS. A little bleach cleared that up.

Then again., I worked in a dry cleaners for 6 years. Plenty of time for all those neurotoxins to damage my thinking processes. Come to think of it, we used bleach there too. ::sigh::
