IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
-General concerns of fabrics that have been exposed to or contain actual mold growth and/or mycotoxins.
-Review of studies performed by Ralph Moon testing (4) various cleaning methods on (4) types of fabrics (cotton, wool, polyester, silk).
- Conclusions & limitations of those studies (Hint: No method of cleaning is "guaranteed" to work, however, standard washing techniques and standard washing with bleach appears to work (overall) the best. Watch & listen to learn more!)
-Things to consider if you are or live with a hoarder.
-Importance of keeping your home/structure dry.
