Have any of you mold guys heard of "Concrobium Mold Control"? It is supposed to be an environmentally friendly treatment for mold that encapsulates the mold and stops or slows down future growth. It's sold at HD and Lowes for around $40.

What do you know about it? A local mold tester was quoted in the paper stating he had had some success with it. I'm not sure of his level of experience and training so I thought I'd toss it out there.

It's soda ash (Sal Soda). You don't want to be brushing your teeth with it.
