How to remove mold - eBook



There is always mold in any house. That is just an unfortunate fact. Very few people realise that many of the allergies such as coughing at night, skin irritations, itchy and irritated eyes and smells are caused by mould lurking somewhere in the house. And don't think that mould is only a problem in old houses. Mold will grow anywhere as long as the micro-climate for the spores to grow are suitable.

So where can you find mould. It is actually quite simple, do you have an air conditioner, yes, well that is an excellent place for mold to proliferate. What is worse is that the air conditioner helps the spores of the mold to disperse in the surrounding area, making the infestation so much more serious. It is true that mold will not grow everywhere, it needs a certain micro-climate to grow and spawn, but small micro cracks can be found everywhere, and that is just where they are very happy. It is easy to find mold in bathrooms though, but still, you need expert advice to get rid of it in such a way that it does not affect you and your families health.  That is the trick.

Black mold is even worse. I think the only people that can really detect black mold are plant pathologists or micro-biologist, and who knows one. I have studied micro-biology and plant pathology and cannot identify black mould quickly.  You need someone that is involved in mould every day to explain in detail how to identify these fungi.

I would recommend The Mold Manuscript to anyone that takes their families health seriously.

How to select a kitchen sink mixer

Image
Kitchen sink mixers are expensive items and should be selected based on practicality first and secondly aesthetics. Yes, off-course budget comes first but that is obvious.  So let’s see what is important in a kitchen sink mixer. Deck or wall mounted mixers This is a major consideration and one that must be decided on quite early on in the building phase. If you are going to decide on a wall mounted kitchen mixer than your plumber must chase into the wall and connect the fittings. If you are going to use a deck mounted mixer your plumber must install angle valves in the wall and the kitchen company must make sure there are holes in the granite top for the tap to fit in.  Also the type of kitchen sink will have an influence on your decision. Some kitchen sinks come with holes pre-drilled so then you don't have a choice. Most high end and designer mixers are deck mounted.  So if you want something fancy with bells and whistles design your kitchen around a deck mounted one.

Is there quality differences in stainless steel kitchen sinks

Image
Upmarket high quality kitchen sinks are always made from grade 304 stainless steel and are at least 1 mm thick. One of the upmarket Teka sinks sold at Chilli-B (www.chilli-b.co.za) So many people have asked me what is the quality difference between various kitchen sinks. It is a very difficult question to answer because there are so many factors that one should consider. Obviously the first thing comes to mind is your budget.  So the question is more, what is the best quality sink I can buy within my budget.  That changes the problem slightly and I can break it down to a couple of important features what to look for. Price In general the higher the price the better the quality. We all know that but if you are worried then go with the higher price but also look at the warranty period and what is covered.  The sink with better warranty specs is a lower risk to the supplier or manufacturer so he is prepared to give a longer warranty. One other thing on price, be careful to compar

FAQ on glass splashbacks

FAQ on glass splashbacks What is the biggest size glass that I can choose? Maximum workable splashback panel size – ±3100 x 1200 mm, bigger sizes will be butt joined. The maximum size is actually determined by the oven size. Large ovens are found in Johannesburg and Cape Town. What exactly is glass splashbacks? In simple terms it is toughened glass which is back painted (backpainted) with automotive paint. Permanent adhesion is obtained by mixing the urethane paint with a catalyst which changes the molecular structure of the glass, which ensures the permanent bonding between glass and paint.  So the paint used is not a PVA or water based paint. What are the main advantages of glass? The strong adhesion between paint and glass makes the product durable. Glass is easy to clean & maintain since it is non porous and any chemical can be used to clean it. Toughened glass is safe. If it breaks it shatters into small pieces that will not cause serious injury like stan
