Mold Inhibits 600,000 University of Missouri Books, My Cleaning Products Advises Use of Two Mold Removal Products to …

Columbia, MO (PRWEB) January 30, 2014

Mold has reportedly damaged about 600,000 books of the University of Missouri Libraries. In response to it, My Cleaning Products recommended two mold removal sprays to assist the public in preventing a mold problem of the same extent.

Based on a report from kansascity.com posted on January 29, 2014, the books were stored in an off-campus facility in north Columbia. And as it detailed, the problem about the fungus inhabiting them was discovered in October.

However, Jim Cogswell, the Libraries Director, said in the report that probably only less than half of the damaged volumes will be restored. The reason it determined was the high cost of the mold cleanup.

As the report detailed, the removal of mold from each book could cost around $3. It stated that if it is done to all the affected materials, the treatment could cost up to $1.8 million. But even though it was already said that just a small percentage of books would be saved, it added that the officials were still deciding what to do with the rest.

Below is an excerpt from the post Mold Damages 600,000 Books by My Cleaning Products.

An off-campus storage facility of the University of Missouri Libraries was hit by mold. And based on a report, the damage the fungus brought was no joke.

Discovered in October, the mold problem in the said underground storage in north Columbia affected some 600,000 books. Good thing though that it did not endanger the public's health as stated by a safety officer last week.

According to MCP, mold is preventable. It said that books, clothes, bags, furniture and other things could be saved from its damages in a lot of ways.

However, it cited that circumstances as flood and unknown leaks could promote the fungus' growth without hindrances. Because of that, it advised the public to be always ready to kill mold. It said that detecting and clearing it early is the best anyone could do when caught in such situations.
