Scott’s Liquid Gold Introduces Mold Control 500 for DIY Mold Remediation

10/06/2006

DENVER -- (BUSINESS WIRE) Scott's Liquid Gold Inc., a trusted name in the household products industry, announced the nationwide availability of its newest product, Mold Control 500.
Mold Control 500 is an EPA-approved consumer product available off-the-shelf for home mold removal in areas up to 500 square feet. With average costs for professional mold remediation ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, Mold Control 500 offers consumers an affordable, effective alternative. Mold Control 500 is retail priced at less than $30.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calls mold "the greatest known health threat to the indoor environment today." Because mold thrives in moist environments, the effects of wet weather and humidity spur mold growth, as do plumbing leaks, leaky windows and roofs, and dripping air-conditioning. Additionally, owners of Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and boats face an even higher risk of mold infestation due to the construction and storage practices for these types of vehicles.

The formula for Mold Control 500 was initially developed for the United States military to neutralize biochemicals that might be used against the nation's troops. Unlike bleach and products that contain bleach, Mold Control 500 is safe to use on a variety of surfaces but potent enough to get to the root of the problem - the mold spores. In order to truly rid a home of mold, the spores must be removed and the moisture that feeds the mold addressed.

"Mold is an equal opportunity home invader," said Mark E. Goldstein, CEO of Scott's Liquid Gold Inc. "While areas with warm, humid climates have higher occurrences of mold, mold knows no geographic boundaries. Our product isn't for cleaning up mildew in showers – it's much bigger than that. Mold Control 500 enables homeowners to rid their homes of harmful mold growing in their walls, on their siding and under sinks without calling in an 'expert' for thousands of dollars."

Mold Control 500 is available at Home Depot, Walmart, Ace Hardware, True Value, Menard's and select Walgreen's locations. Mold Control 500 is also available for purchase online at http://www.moldcontrol500.com/
