I want to use this with a bleach for mold/mildew on the house but while another Chapin model mentions bleach , this one does not. Any problems?

If you use bleach with this unit you can damage O-rings, fittings and internals of the sprayer handle. I would advice against it. It is not design for this. On the other hand the ratio is very important, you may get by with light use. But if you need a sprayer only for this use this is not the one. Good luck.

We have not used with a bleach-water combination (would not use bleach only) yet, but plan to do so to clean the eves of the house. My husband feels it will work fine as the product is thick plastic and the wand is metal. Current use is for yard pesticides.

I do not use mine for anything as harsh as bleach. I am not sure what ratio you will use it with water but straight bleach and I would assume the O-rings will not last long at all. I have been very impressed so far with this sprayer but I am sorry but am not sure how it would hold up to bleach.

I haven't used it for this purpose, but I took a quick look at the warnings on the booklet and it does specifically mention bleach shouldn't be used. I know that there are other solutions for mold/ mildew that don't include bleach you could consider, or in a small enough concentration, I can't see how bleach would hurt this sprayer - but the manufacturer does warn against it.

I have no used bleach with this mop- I would put Clorox Clean-Up on the tile area that was dirty and later mopped it up with my other sponge mop being wet at the time. Not sure about straight clorox. I generally use white cleaning vinegar to make the floor nice and clean but sometimes bad spots do need cleaing Clorox.

I've had these things clean stuff that bleach couldn't. Different technologies. I would definitely try them.

I really hope that this works for you and please let me know how it does for you. I can also be reached at BLKCAT13@me.com if you find it easier to write there. I used Concrobium Mold Control Mold Inhibitor it had good reviews.

We used this constantly with 2 babies and never had a problem with mold. The recall seems ridiculous to me and worries me that the manufacturer would "remedy" the problem by adding more mold-inhibiting chemicals. The cover comes off for easy cleaning, which is a GREAT thing. Just make sure you clean it properly if baby wets it and make sure it is dry before you put it back on.

I have sprayed my vinyl shower curtain with Spray 9 full strength and it doesn't seem to immediately change the darker color of mold to a white like bleach does (just with contact) but it did remove the mold after wiping with a sponge and it seems to prevent it from coming back as quick and the smell is much better than bleach.

I did have one that mold due to rain, I went to blacktoxicmolds.com ( mold on clothes), I used baking soda, I did not want to bleach, due to the color may change. read that site. It is interesting. Hope it helps

I have used mine with all kinds of chemicals, except bleach based. You want to make sure that you do not breathe in these chemicals, since these particles are very fine mist, and can be inhaled into the lungs easily. I absolutely love my machine, and it works well for most applications.

I suggest you contact mold armor discuss or with a hardware store expert (Lowes or home depot). I would stay away from any hard bleach products. All I know for sure is that it worked extremely well on vinyl siding.

I thoroughly investigated what mask to buy to clean up a mold-infestation in my apartment. This is the one that reliable on-line sources recommended. AND the very competent mold inspector I hired told me that it is the correct one. It protects from visible mold, but also from the microscopic mold spores that are so tiny they are invisible. In other words, this mask protects you from any toxin or waste that is that tiny and also from anything larger than that, like the pet waste you mentioned. What's also great is that it protects you from harsh detergents or chemicals you may decide to use in the clean up, even bleach. I hired others to do most of the mold clean up, but I also needed to be involved. While wearing it, as well as afterwards, I experienced no mold symptoms. Also, at that time bleach was recommended for parts of the clean up. I am TERRIBLY allergic to bleach, but experienced no allergic reaction whatsoever. I hope my information is reassuring to you. (By the way, I have no association with the company that makes the mask. I work as a psychologist in Milwaukee.)

Hi the bleach solution would probably be enough, but adding it to both won't hurt Hope this helps

I have used it with great success on pretreated stains. I have also used it with oxy clean in the same load as well as in loads immediately following a prewash in bleach. I have not mixed the bleach and detergent in the same wash but would not see any reason against. Just isn't my habit to do them together.

Before I bought this I spoke to the manufacturer and they told me it can be used on any surface even material since it made with all-natural ingredients. So it can be used in a shower or bathroom. I also did some research because I always thought bleach was the way to go. Besides not being able to use bleach on many surfaces it also does not get rid of the mold so you will always have a mold problem where you use bleach. I hope that answers your question.

I have tried close to a 5% bleach solution and it produced the same results. I talked to a home remodel company owner when he remodeled a bathroom by stripping the wall paper using full strength bleach and he said he got his sprayer at Home Depot. I haven't tried theirs yet.

Yes, I have used Blue Magic in two different waterbeds over the last 20 or more years, and this product works well. Use it at least once a year, and you should have no problems with mildew. I find it is a good idea to have a dedicated hose for filling and/or draining the waterbed, I hope this is helpful.

It doesn't come apart in that sense. There is a weekly maintenance using white vinegar for scale and diluted chlorine bleach for disinfection. I have had no issues at all with mold to date. I have had mold issues with evaporative type humidifiers in the past. This ultrasonic is better so far.

I haven't used bleach, but I have washed it and I imagine it might work fine. It's off-white, notwhite, so bleach might lighten it up a bit.
