Odors in clothes

We in the USA have certainly gotten a large dose of storms and hurricanes and the associated damage this year (2008). And as a result of the damage over the past few years, storm, flood and hurricane insurance has become so expensive that the average person in the areas where this kind of insurance is needed can barely be afforded it if the can even get it.

FEMA has been pushed to the limit and the American taxpayer is getting pretty tired of their tax money being spent on disaster relief for the same people over and over again.  In the past when there was no FEMA people depended on each other to exact disaster relief.

After the great San Francisco fire in the 1800s there was almost nothing left of that great city. But, it was rebuilt by the people who wanted a city by the bay with no help from federal or state government at all.

In many areas of this great rural country, when a barn is destroyed by a fire or tornado, the neighbors just show up with hammers, nails, wood, ladders, food and enthusiasm to build another barn. Granted, with  insurance to cover the loss and reconstruction this happens far too infrequently. But if insurance rates continue to spiral out of control, it will not be long before neighbors helping neighbors will become a much more normal occurrence.

Recovering from the damage dished out by the various spring time storms and hurricanes that have visited the USA and Caribbean is an expensive, time consuming and difficult process. In the past tens of thousands of refrigerators and freezers were simply thrown away because they smelled so bad from being without power and full of spoiled food.

Even houses that did not get flooded but were without power and air conditioning for days are often damaged by mold growing on everything. Untold millions of dollars worth of furniture, furnishings and clothing heave been thrown out because they were covered with mold. Just getting rid of the mold growing on the walls is a difficult and dangerous task that can result in a life time of health problems brought on by short term high level exposure to mold exposure during remediation efforts and long term low level exposure to mold growing in and under houses that the remediation effort was less than completely successful.

There are now several new products on the market that kill mold. There is one that kills mold, spores, bacteria, viruses, and many odors as well called OdorXit ClO2. You may want to try this product because the house your save from mold may be your own.

Let me tell you right up front, I run OdorXit Products and we sell odor control products that really work.

That being said, we get many phone calls from people who either have not read the relevant information about their odor problem on the OdorXit website or did not believe what they read. Though recently there have been a bunch of calls from people who have started using a dehumidifier in their wet moldy basement and as a direct result the apparent mold odor got much worse.

After giving this some thought and remembering what I had read regarding what happens as mold fungus goes into its dormant state.

When the mold fungus is deprived of water:

• The fungus drys up and looks funny, as soon as the water (vapor) starts to disappear,
• And in a desperate effort to propagate, the mold fungus produces millions of microscopic spores (seeds) that float in the air in order to  move to a more hospitable place.
• Finally the fungus changes into its dormant state.

These spores are looking for a warm, wet, dark place to root and start a new life. If this criterion for a friendly place to live sounds familiar, it should. One is inside your chest called your lungs.

From the mold’s standpoint, this turns out to be not a vary friendly place to call home because of your immune system. Even if you are not “allergic” to mold or spores, your immune system takes this invasion very seriously and does what it knows how to do to fight off the intrusion.

The down side of the action taken by your immune system is that when it is triggered into action, it doesn’t just make the anti-bodies that fight off the mold infestation, it also makes all the anti-bodies you have ever produced to fight off every sickness you have ever had in the past.  Some of these anti-bodies can make you feel pretty bad.

Using the OdorXit ClO2 Product to kill the mold and spores is the easiest, cheapest, most effective way to rid your living space of mold and mold spores. It also gets rid of lots of other nastys too.
