I appreciate the input, but it doesn't really change things. As a
commercial applicator I'm sure you have the typical bureaucratic
regulations to conform to, which would require you to provide an MSDS
to the occupants when you applied whatever you were applying. That
requirement precludes you from mixing your own chemicals - no matter
how innocuous they are. As far as I know, if you can't provide an
MSDS sheet, you can't use the chemical.
Concrobium _is_ just sodium carbonate and water. Sodium carbonate is
listed on the US MSDS as the _only_ active ingredient. If sodium
carbonate inhibits mold growth on fruit, it will inhibit mold growth
on other things.
