albertrapier,
If you are not using Chlorine to kill moldthen what chemical is out there that will replace chlorine.
As for biodegradable,you are aware that these are not completely harmless,they may be harmless to plant life,and maybe pets and humans but, not to the soil.Biodegradables also do not break down after rinsed,they take anywhere from days to months to fully break down.
In another post you said you are buying chems at Hd or Lowes,if you aren't using professional chemicals,What sets you apart from the weekend DIYer?
With the exception of chlorine(not household bleach),nothing we use can be bought over the counter by a homeowner.We use this as a selling point to customers,they seem to like that the products we use are professional grade and not available to them.
I to would like to see the info that chlorine breaks down vinyl prematurely.
