Here is some information about Nanocyn and mould:
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp and humid environments, manifesting in various shapes and forms. It can colonize a wide range of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, and fabrics, especially when moisture levels are elevated. Unfortunately, mould poses significant health risks, causing allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and various health concerns upon inhalation or skin contact with its spores.
Mould is generally harder to kill than viruses and bacteria for disinfectants due to several key factors:
- Structure and Growth: Mould is a type of fungus that consists of multicellular structures with complex and resilient cell walls. These structures can penetrate porous surfaces, making it challenging for disinfectants to reach and effectively eliminate mould spores embedded in such materials.
- Reproduction: Mould reproduces through spores, which are tiny and lightweight. These spores can easily become airborne and spread throughout the environment, making it difficult to completely eradicate them with standard disinfecting methods.
- Protective Coatings: Some mould species produce protective coatings or biofilms that shield them from the effects of disinfectants. These coatings act as barriers, reducing the contact between the disinfectant and the mould spores, thus decreasing the efficacy of the disinfection process.
- Environmental Resilience: Mould thrives in moist and humid conditions, and it can survive and remain dormant for extended periods until favourable conditions are present for growth.
- Resistance to Chemicals: Some mould strains have developed resistance to certain disinfecting agents, making it challenging to achieve complete eradication with standard disinfectants.
- Long Exposure Times: Disinfectants need sufficient contact time to be effective against mould. Unlike many bacteria and viruses, mould may require longer exposure times for the disinfectant to penetrate its protective structures and kill the spores effectively.
To effectively combat mould, it's essential to use disinfectants that are specifically designed and tested to target mould spores (Nanocyn is approved and tested). Additionally, proper cleaning practices, maintaining dry environments, and addressing underlying moisture issues are crucial to preventing mould growth and facilitating the disinfection process.
In light of this challenge, Nanocyn emerges as an exemplary solution due to its unparalleled disinfectant properties. Nanocyn's efficacy against mould is exceptional, as it swiftly neutralizes and eliminates mould spores when applied to contaminated surfaces. By disrupting the mould's cell membranes and enzymes, Nanocyn initiates the eradication process at its source, effectively preventing further growth and spread.
Regarding application, the approach may vary based on the scale and cause of the issue. However, a general procedure entails the following steps:
- Application: Nanocyn can be conveniently sprayed onto the affected surface using a misting machine or spray bottle.
- Dwell Time: To ensure optimal results, it is advised to allow Nanocyn to remain wet for 5-10 minutes before proceeding.
- Wiping: After the dwell time, the surface can be gently wiped with a microfibre towel or sponge.
- Final Treatment: Once the surface is dry, re-application of Nanocyn on the affected area via misting or spraying is recommended. Allowing the surface to air dry after this step will guarantee complete eradication of surface mould.
We highly recommend using the misting machines to treat the rooms as often as possible during general cleaning cycles the reduce the presence of invisible mould spores. This will also reduce the chances of a Gastro or COVID outbreak on site.
While Nanocyn excels at effectively eliminating mould, it is essential to bear in mind several key considerations:
- Post-treatment: It is crucial to note that although Nanocyn effectively kills the mould, it may still be visible on the surface. Nanocyn does not dissolve mould; therefore, further remediation, such as repainting or re-caulking, might be necessary once the surface is dry.
- Structural Causes: Nanocyn will not impede mould reappearance if it stems from structural issues, such as building defects, leaking pipes, or wet plaster. In such cases, addressing the root cause is imperative to prevent future mould growth.
- Prevention: Nanocyn can be a proactive measure in preventing mould spread when used as a preventative solution. Its non-toxic nature ensures the eradication of mould spores without posing any harm to occupants or the environment.
