Bad idea, Renee, if they have a lot of mold- mold usually releases toxins when it dies, and sometimes those can be seriously dangerous. It is recommended to remove, not kill mold, to prevent that.
I have used a variety of things to detoxify ambient mold and/or toxins after removal. My criteria for effectiveness was my personal sensitivity. Last time I checked chlorine in any form was not effective in killing mold - it bleaches it, but does not kill more than the surface mold, which is why removal is so important. It is also not so easy to find the hidden reservoirs, if that is what is making her sick. It is possible more info has come out in the last couple of years that i have not heard about; I am aware of some controversy around the chlorine use also.
