Does Thymol Kill Mold?

When used according to appropriate procedures in a fumigation chamber, thymol can effectively kill active mold, that is, mold growing on a damp surface. Thymol can also be used as an inhibitor in what otherwise might be an environment conducive to the development and growth of mold, such as in a humidification chamber.

What kills mold permanently?

Simply mix one part bleach to four parts water. Using a damp cloth gently scrub and wipe the mould until the mould is gone. Once finished, dry the area well with a soft cloth.

What is the best solution to kill mold?

A bleach solution also works to kill mold. Mix one cup of bleach in a gallon of water, apply to the surface and don't rinse. Mix a 50/50 solution of ammonia and water. Spray on the surface, wait two to three hours, then rinse.
