1) Can’t I just use bleach to get rid of the mold in my house?
Bleach can be toxic and poses health risks to users and to occupants during and after use.
Also, bleach will not prevent the mold from returning to the cleaned surface. It may look clean once you're done, but the mold will grow back within weeks.
2) Why is EPA registration important?
Any product claiming to inhibit or prevent fungi or mold requires registration with the US Environmental Protection Agency. Registration is issued after review of efficacy data and is the public's assurance that the product does what it claims to do.
Concrobium Mold Control's EPA registration number is 82552-1.
3) What is Concrobium Mold Control made of?
Concrobium Mold Control is a patented blend of inorganic compounds which have been combined in a proprietary way. The unique solution produces an invisible, antimicrobial film upon drying that encapsulates fungus microbes and prevents growth. Concrobium Mold Control is the subject of over 20 patents and patents pending in over a dozen countries worldwide.
4) How often should I apply Concrobium Mold Control to prevent mold growth?
Concrobium Mold Control bonds to the surface at a molecular level and is difficult to remove. However, if it has been applied to a surface that is continually exposed to water (e.g., leaking, washing, running water), you may need to reapply the product periodically to maintain protection against mold growth.
5) Can I paint over Concrobium Mold Control?
Yes. Regular household latex paints adhere very well to Concrobium Mold Control-treated surfaces. If you wish to treat and then repaint a moldy surface, first apply the solution to clean the affected area. Allow to dry and then repaint. To prevent regrowth, retreat the newly painted area with Concrobium Mold Control - ensuring first that the paint is dry.
6) Can Concrobium Mold Control be mixed with water?
No, the product is ready-to-use and should not be diluted.
7) Can I use Concrobium Mold Control on fabric??
Yes, you can use Concrobium on fabric. In fact, the product is an effective carpet stain remover and will help to eliminate fabric odors.
8) When fogging, what contents should be removed from the room?
Prior to fogging Concrobium Mold Control, remove or cover any items you would not normally want to get damp, including paper, books and electrical equipment.
9) I have noticed some white residue after fogging on some flat surfaces - what is this?
Residue is a normal result of overapplication on nonabsorbent surfaces. It is the result of evaporation of the water content from Concrobium Mold Control as it sits pooled on a surface. The residue can be easily wiped away with a cloth dampened with the product. Adjust application rates accordingly for subsequent applications.
10) Can I use a sprayer to apply Concrobium Mold Control?
Yes, compression or garden sprayers (available at local home improvement retailers) are an excellent way to cover large surfaces that are easily accessible. It is important to use the nozzle that creates the finest mist. After spraying, wipe off excess wetness to ensure an even coating of the solution.
