WHAT IS MOLDZYME® MOLD & MILDEW STAIN CLEANER?
MoldZyme® Mold & Mildew Stain Cleaner is a proprietary enzyme blend scientifically engineered for the cleaning of mold and mildew stains, as well as the removal of the related musty odor. The liquid penetrates mold to remove it from outdoor surfaces like wood, concrete, brick, and stucco. It works great on indoor surfaces like tile or areas with moisture problems.
HOW DO I USE MOLDZYME® MOLD & MILDEW STAIN CLEANER?
MoldZyme® Mold & Mildew Stain Cleaner is very easy and safe to use. For existing mold and mildew stains, apply MoldZyme® to the surface and scrub away mold and mildew stains using a sponge, cloth or brush. For severe stains, apply MoldZyme® and let stand before scrubbing or reapply one or more times. MoldZyme® is not a bleaching agent. It penetrates the mold and mildew to remove it from the surface. Always wipe surface free of debris after application.
For hard to reach or large areas, MoldZyme® is more effectively applied with a fogging device. Exterior walls can be effectively cleaned using MoldZyme® and a pressure washer without harming paint or exterior finish.
IS MOLDZYME SAFE?
Yes. MoldZyme® is safe for people, pets, plants, children, and the environment. It contains natural enzymes that are among the safest cleaning agents available. The formula is non-hazardous, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It contains no harsh chemicals, no chlorine, and no ammonia. MoldZyme® can safely be used around people, pets, plants, and marine life. Exterior surfaces can be effectively cleaned with MoldZyme® without concern for harming plants, shrubs, flowers, or the environment.
No special clothing is necessary when using MoldZyme®. Unlike chlorine, ammonia or other harsh chemicals that produce strong, toxic fumes, MoldZyme® is not harmful to the user and does not require special ventilation. However, due to the potential risk of exposure to mold and mildew, it is a good policy to wear respiratory protection while working in areas where mold is present.
MoldZyme® is environmentally safe and biodegradable. The USDA classifies the product (L2 Category) safe for sewage lines and drains. The ingredients of MoldZyme® are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR21), Sections 174-184.
MY BASEMENT HAS A PUNGENT, MUSTY SMELL OF MOLD OR MILDEW BUT I DO NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE MOLD. WILL MOLDZYME® HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM?
MoldZyme® is an excellent deodorizer of not only mold and mildew odors, but also any organic odor such as urine, skunk, vomit, dead animals, garbage or feces.
Thoroughly spray areas and surfaces directly where odor problems exist.
Treatment with a fogging system is recommended for covering larger areas. MoldZyme® does not cover up odors, but actually eliminates them leaving the air smelling fresh and clean.
HOW MUCH SURFACE AREA CAN I CLEAN WITH 1 GALLON OF MOLDZYME®?
3.8 liters of MoldZyme® Ready-To-Use product will treat approximately 106 square meters.
HOW DO I MIX AND STORE MOLDZYME® MOLD & MILDEW STAIN CLEANER?
The shelf-life of MoldZyme® (Ready-To-Use or Concentrate) is 2 years. We recommend you store MoldZyme® at room temperature and protect it from freezing. Do not mix MoldZyme® with any other chemicals. Caustic chemicals will destroy the enzymes.
CAN MOLDZYME® MOLD & MILDEW STAIN CLEANER BE USED WITH PRESSURIZED CLEANING SYSTEMS?
Yes, MoldZyme® is compatible with most commercial cleaning systems: pressurized, mechanical, and manual. However MoldZyme® cannot be used with steam, thermal foggers or in temperatures in excess of 54.5 °C.
CAN MOLDZYME® BE USED ON WOOD?
Yes, MoldZyme® is safe to use on wood floors, floor joists, wood siding, decking, etc as a surface cleaner. For cases where wood materials have supported mold growth for a period of time, mold may have penetrated the wood. A surface cleaner may not be a sufficient means of removal; it is recommended to replace the materials completely.
