Mould removal in washrooms

August 16th, 2018 | Commercial Cleaning

Mould removal in washrooms.

Unwanted guests come in many forms; some, however, are more unsavory than others. Mould, the silent invader lurking in the corners of our washrooms, is precisely one such uninvited visitor that often overstays its welcome. Despite its innocuous appearance at first glance, the implications of mould in our washrooms extend far beyond mere aesthetics. Within this blog, we’ll delve into the world of mould in washrooms, meticulously uncovering its causes, exploring its potential health risks, and, most importantly, outlining the effective strategies to banish it for good.

Chlorosan

The Chlorosan is enhanced with chlorine-specific wetting and penetrating agents which ensure that the mould spores embedded in porous surfaces are effectively eliminated. This is what makes it different from regular chlorine bleach and is the secret in limiting mould regrowth.

Chlorosan is a thickened product. It can be used neat or diluted up to 1 in 10 for mould treatment.

Key Positives
  • Low cost & very effective – virtually fail-safe results
  • Total elimination of mould stains & total kill of mould spores
  • The product of choice for outdoor mould.
Negatives
  • Contains chlorine – Chlorosan is based on 6% chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite).
Percide

Percide is a potentiated hydrogen peroxide-based product and is supplied in a ready to use form. The advantage of the Percide is that there is no chlorine vapours, which some people find harmful. Percide also fizzes when in contact with mould which acts as an indicator for mould growth and is excellent for customer demonstration.

Key Positives
  • Very effective – virtually fail-safe results
  • Total elimination of mould stains
  • Total kill of mould spores
Negatives
  • Percide doesn’t work as well as Chlorosan for mould on outdoor surfaces
  • Will mark polished marble and natural stone.
Biosan II
  • Biosan II is a potentiated Benzylkonium chloride product and is supplied as a concentrate. It is very safe in use and is absolutely lethal to mould spores, however Biosan II does not remove the staining unless left to dwell overnight.
Key Positives
  • Very low cost. 1:16 dilution ratio.
  • Very safe in use.
  • Total elimination of mould stains
  • Total kill of mould spores
Negatives
  • Doesn’t remove mould staining

As we conclude this exploration into mould in our washrooms, it’s evident that tackling this issue goes beyond surface cleanliness. By implementing proactive measures and comprehending the factors contributing to mould growth, we empower ourselves to create healthier environments.
