Mold Remediation
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2006 3:32 pm
Hi Chrissy - I hope you can help me. We are a manufacturer that has been in business for over 50 years selling to the grocery, drug, discount, and hardware trade a variety of household cleaning products. During the last two years we have been working with the EPA to get approval for a mold cleaning product unlike anything that has been on the market. The technology behind this new product was developed by Sandia Laboratories, a government laboratory, to neutralize all sorts of biological and chemical toxins. It also takes care of mold, brilliantly.
Right now, when you ask your local hardware store for something to clean mold, the answer is bleach. Bleach will not kill the mold spores, which can lay dormant until the next blast of moisture activates them and off they go. Our product will kill the mold spores to inhibit them from growing again, as well as clean and disinfect. Mildew and fungus included. If homeowners have mold, they may call a professional remediator, which may end up costing thousands of dollars, depending on the infestation. Insurance companies are running away from the problem as fast as they can. We will be able to offer an alternative to those homeowners that like to do it themselves for smaller areas.
Why am I writing to you?
During our research we found that a lot of people with mobile homes have problems with mold. On their outside paneling, roof, inside under sinks, or areas with not a lot of ventilation. We would like to be able to reach the various mobile home owners or park owners inexpensively through mailings in a way to educate them about a new product coming on the market that will be available in their local DIY or Hardware store, as well as on-line.
Is there a listing of larger and medium sized manufactured housing parks available? I just started on Google today, and you were on the second page of my query "mobile home supplies". I may find it soon, but thought your forum might save me a lot of time. (I am finding a lot of suppliers of parts to the mobile home industry, which is fine, as we want to supply them too, but we believe going directly to those affected would be best).
Any insight would be helpful.
