Is it true that bleach kills mold, including the roots growing inside porous materials such as drywall and wood?
Unclear. One peer-reviewed report indicates dilute bleach kills common household mold under laboratory conditions, and a Wikibooks mold-treatment page advises disinfecting molded surfaces with 10% household bleach. Neither source addresses whether bleach reaches and kills mold roots growing inside porous materials such as drywall and wood.
