Concrobium 25001 Mold Control Jug, Gallon

My (aging) house developed a roof leak I was unaware of at first bc it began in a room I dont often use which led to a whole host of problems not the least of which were mold and that God - awful musty damp smell. I tried everything short of tearing down that part of the house and rebuilding it to get rid of it but nothing worked. CONCROBIUM DID !!!! Tbh I was expecting this to be just one more (crappy) product I tried that didnt work bc I was firmly convinced that after everything I'd done and all the products I'd used there was NO way gettn rid of THAT smell could really be THAT easy (just spray and walk away - REALLY ? like I hadn't heard THAT before). Nor did I believe there was a product out there that I could actually AFFORD (mold remediation is $$$) that could both elimate the odor & keep it from coming back. I read the reviews, did some resarch, and decided to give Concrobium a shot anyway. I WAS SHOCKED !! IT WORKED !!! I LITERALLY SPRAYED IT ON AND WALKED AWAY TO LET IT DRY AND WHEN I WENT BACK A LITTLE BIT LATER THE MOLD WAS GONE ! THE STAINS WERE GONE !! THE GOD - AWFUL MUSTY, DAMP SMELL WAS GONE !!! - AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN TELL I HAD SPRAYED ANYTHING !!!! THERE WAS NO HARSH SMELL DURING OR AFTER USE, THERE WAS NO MESSY RESIDUE LEFT BEHIND, NOTHING !!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BUT IT WORKED ! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING !!! BEST PRODUCT IVE EVER USED !!!! EASY TO APPLY AND WORKS QUICKLY ! SEEMS TO HOLD UP WELL TOO ! I will be applying it to all my walls, ceilings, etc to protect from any future growth anywhere jic i develop another leak I dont instantly know about - (call it prevenative maintenance lol) but the bottom line is this: DONT WASTE ANY TIME OR MONEY ON ANYTHING ELSE ! THIS STUFF WORKS JUST LIKE IT SAYS !! BEST $ I EVER SPENT !!! ORDERING MORE !!!!

I had a house I was renovating that had mold growing in the basement. I needed to treat the basement ceilings which were exposed wood trusses, cinder block walls, a brick fireplace and concrete flooring. The space was about 1200 sq/ft, I also needed to be able to apply whatever I was using around existing HVAC conduit and pipes to ensure I was getting all the surface area where the mold was.I applied this using a cold fogger machine which basically take the fungicide liquid and sprays it out as a mist/fog like an aerosol which makes it very easy to spray on all the surfaces in a manner that would cover properly and get to areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Once I applied this, I allowed the basement to ventilate for about 8 hrs, and then ran 2 dehumidifiers. After 48-72 hrs everything was dry, and the mold looks to be remediated, that is the mold that I could once see visibly was not gone.I used 3 gals which allow me to spray all the ceiling, walls and floor areas. I would say the product does has a slight smell to it, which did not bother me or anyone else that was working in the house. I did wear a HEPA filtered mask from one of the big box hardware stores and wore gloves and goggles to be safe, even though it appears the products is safe enough to use in public places.So, if your unfortuniate to have a mold issue, don't panic, give this a try and I recommend using a fogger/misting machine like I did to apply this quickly and easily.

It's a great product that kills mold like it says on the label, but leaves white residue everywhere.

Great product!

A lot of people read the MSDS on this and only see washing soda listed as the ingredient. You don't have to list anything in the MSDS, only give instructions on what to do if there's a spill, how flammable it is for transport, etc. MSDS (SDS) do not make you give out your formula. However, I noticed that they patented it. In a patent, you do have to tell exactly how to make it. So with that said, this is a mixture of baking soda, washing soda, TSP cleaner (trisodium phosphate), and water. You can make it yourself for about $20 for 160 gallons. However, if you only need a gallon then it's probably better just to buy this and save yourself the hassle. It works because mold doesn't like the sodium or the alkaline environment created by the ingredients. Because it is only baking soda, washing soda, and trisodium phosphate with no binding agent it will just wash off. If you are spraying a non-porous like a piece of unpainted wood, then the wood would suck it in. If you spray glass, for instance, it will not be absorbed and you can just wipe it off. If you use this on painted walls, it will leave a dusty appearance, so you can't use it on dark paint. You can spray it, kill the mold, and then wipe it off. I don't think you could wipe painted walls off though as they would be too big. You will see them say that the product must dry to work. This is because the product is heavily diluted with the water (98% water) but once dry, it's 100% of the "active ingredients" on the surface which raises the PH and condenses the salts.I used this on an antique cabinet that smelled mildewy. It took care of the smell by about 75%. I think there are nooks and crannies that I can't reach for the other 25%. It is truly non-toxic and while there is a smell from the trisodium phosphate, it goes away quickly. There are no "VOCs" because there's no carbon in the mixture. Concronuim is EPA registered, which costs A LOT of money. This means that they had to prove to the EPA that their product does work through laboratory experiments that the EPA says they have to do. To the makers of Concronuim, I say kudos for coming up with such a novel way to kill mold, that is truly safe, and taking the steps with the EPA to back up their claims. While it is only baking soda, washing soda, and TSP, the science is sound that mold does not like these chemicals. By that I mean don't think that other products are more effective just because they contain dangerous chemicals that you can't pronounce.I cannot find any reason not to use this over something else.

This is the second time we ordered Concrobium. It seems to have an excellent job of eradicating mold in our atrium.
