No not fishy, just that moldy mildewy bottom of the fish tank smell. That's the only way I know how to describe it.I wouldn’t describe it as a fishy smell.
Yes! It’s stronger smelling when it’s warm and humid.No not fishy, just that moldy mildewy bottom of the fish tank smell. That's the only way I know how to describe it.
I think mildew is a mold.What does it smell like ? Like mildew?
Yes the toxic molds leave you feeling like you are in hell. I think it is what can cause so called "hauntings", the toxins they release really mess with your brain. I had feelings of doom.I think mildew is a mold.
I think black mold tends to be particularly nasty?
Doesn't take care of possible mold growing behind walls but we killed the visible mold growing in my childhood home with bleach. If I was dealing with it again, since I'm a natural nut, I would probably try vinegar before resorting to bleach. But bleach definitely killed it. lolThank you. I can smell it in my house at times and there are places I can see it.
This looks like a North American supplier:I wonder now whether if one could usefully innoculate susceptible areas with EM (Effective Microrganisms) or some related benign colonies to displace and discourage the more pathogenic molds?
LOL While scrolling through my Amazon list looking for the cleaner, I saw their microbial inoculant that I likely saved while following RBTI and getting into high brix gardening.This looks like a North American supplier:

I think if you get a live batch you can keep growing your own by feeding it molasses. Benign bacteria and fungi.
Wow! Sounds great. Do you do this because you have seen mold growing in the past? It probably wouldn’t help if mold is somewhere we can’t see ? I can just smell mildew in places but nothing is visible .An ozone generator is cheap and will kill all mold. I live in south Florida and find myself using it all the time. Don't be put off by the people saying how toxic it is - of course it's toxic, you just need to take the necessary precautions and not enter the home for several hours.
I place my ozone generator under the A/C unit so it blows through the entire house. I never need more than 5 minutes. My rule of thumb is one hour per minute of ozone, and I've never had any issues following this rule. When I come back inside my home it smells fresh, no mildew or mold scent. Depending on the humidity, this lasts a month or more.
You will know ozone by it's scent. It's hard to describe, it's the smell of pure electricity to me.
It will oxidize everything so you cannot leave pets inside. They say it damages plants as well but I haven't seen that in my experience, as all I need are usually a few minutes. This really helped reduce my allergies and constant runny nose.
The one time I accidentally breathed in ozone I felt nothing, but had reduced lung function for about 3 weeks. Everything winded me. My recovery, however, was complete, which is in line with the research on ozone - it can be very harmful, but most recoveries are complete.
Just my 2 cents for people suffering with mold issues.
