This as a statement is true, but as with any simplification of information, “a little knowledge can be dangerous.” Bleach can kill mold, but doesn’t by itself, complete the disinfection process. Also, to simply kill mold does not end the hazard; dead mold spores can cause as many health problems as live mold spores.
