MANILA, Philippines - Do you have a favorite part of the house? Many homemakers choose the kitchen where they are able to channel their nurturing, creative spirit and attract loved ones with the pleasing aroma of baked goods and simmering dishes. Some regard the bathroom as sacred and spend many hours tending their body and spirit there. Others like to snuggle up in the bedroom, tucked in under a fresh blanket and surrounded with pillows.
You usually let your guard down when lounging in your favorite spot at home, but it might surprise you that your family could already be sharing living space with molds and mildew. Do you keep a damp rug in the bathroom? Are the kitchen counters left stained and greasy after preparing a sumptuous meal? Did your teenage child forget to shut the bedroom window during a downpour? All it takes is a moist environment, room temperature conditions and an organic food source for mold to feed, and a growth can be seen in just 48 hours.
Allergens like mold and mildew are dangerous since they are ever-present and not visible to the naked eye. Not only are they annoying, they are also detrimental to one’s health. Indoor molds, while usually harmless, may induce allergic reactions that may exhibit cold and flu-like symptoms. High-level exposure has been known to trigger attacks in sufferers of chronic asthma as well as coughing, wheezing and upper-respiratory symptoms even in otherwise healthy people. To combat fungal allergens, soap and detergent are not enough since they can only remove stains but not kill growth. Use a cleaning agent specifically formulated to attack molds and mildew. When used as directed, Tilex Mildew Root Penetrator and Remover can significantly reduce the presence of molds and mildew at home.
Tilex Mildew Root Penetrator and Remover is available in leading supermarkets nationwide.
