ben·zal·ko·ni·um chloride (bĕn'zăl-kō'nē-əm) pronunciation
n.

A yellow-white powder prepared in an aqueous solution and used as a detergent, fungicide, bactericide, and spermicide!....Handy.

disodium octaborate is a wood preservative.

it's overkill for a bit of mould IMO.

Hey davebelushi,

I am currently renting out a property which is very prone to condensation. I have tried all the usual cheap DIY remedies and advised the tenants on heating, installed double glazing with trickle vents etc etc.... Now I am considering various air input systems. Can you advise if they work???

Thanks.
