Hydrogen Peroxide and Mold Effects

On the Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Moulds
Moulds are often born in damp places and are a problem at home. Hydrogen peroxide, which is active in nature, is quite effective in anti-mildew.

Hydrogen peroxide encounters molds, because of its strong oxidative properties, it can break the cell structure of molds. The cell membrane of molds exchanges its body and its cells. In case of hydrogen peroxide, the lipid components of the membrane are oxidized, causing the integrity of the membrane to be damaged, the intracellular material spills out, and the vitality of molds is broken.

And molds rely on enzymes for metabolism, and the activity of hydrogen peroxide can be oxidized, so that the enzyme is inactivated. Enzymes lose their ability, and the respiration, synthesis and other metabolic processes of molds are chaotic, hindering growth and reproduction.

In the environment, hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce oxygen and water. Oxygen can change the redox potential of the microenvironment in which the mold is located, making it uncomfortable, while water can dilute the nutrients around the mold, which is not conducive to its survival.

Therefore, using hydrogen peroxide to remove mold can clean up the breeding place of mold, keep the environment clean, and prevent the growth of mold. It is a good way to resist mold.
