Algae & mould washing
There are many situations and environments where algae and mould are a problem. Green and black algae make the surface look worn and dull. Mould can do a lot of damage and it is therefore important to clean the affected area to avoid permanent damage.
Algae and mould are living spores and it is therefore not enough to just wash with ordinary detergent. A special cleaning agent is required that also kills algae and mould, a so-called disinfectant.
Biocool Spray away mould is an effective and powerful disinfection for algae washing and mould washing. The practical bottle makes it easy to wash the affected area. Spray, leave to work, brush and rinse with water.
Does not affect the fibers in textiles
Mould washing for textile & fabric
A forgotten life jacket or pillow outdoors, in a boat or other damp area is easily attacked by mould. In addition to starting to smell bad, the material can become damaged and unsightly. Other textiles that are easily attacked by mould are e.g. awnings, tents and ski cases.
Use Biocool Spray away mould on the affected area. Our mould wash kills the mould without affecting the textiles, so you don't risk them becoming stiff or brittle.
Sometimes a bad or musty smell can remain in the textiles. Then we recommend that after using Spray away mould, you wash by hand or in a machine with the detergent Biocool Wash my laundry. The detergent breaks down bad odors already at 30 degrees.
Algae washing outdoors for facade, patio & outdoor furniture
It can be easy to mistake algae for dirt, but algae is a living organism with spores that are carried outdoors by the wind. They easily attach to a facade, balcony, trellis, awning or other wooden surfaces. Once the spores have taken hold, they begin to grow and appear as green discolorations on the affected area.
The algae bind moisture to the material they grow on, which can lead to fungal attacks and rot. Therefore, it is important to wash infested surfaces with an agent that not only washes clean, but also kills the algae. Biocool Spray away mould is a specially developed cleaning agent that cleans and kills the algae. Just spray, let it work, brush and rinse and it's done.
Mould washing indoors
In poorly ventilated spaces indoors such as bathroom and attic, the risk of mould formation is increased. Other surfaces that are continuously exposed to wetness and humidity can also be attacked. It can be a windowsill under a window with a lot of condensation, behind a sofa where air flows poorly. Black mould is common in this context and can be seen as black dots on the affected surface. Larger infestations of black mould can be harmful to health.
Minor and superficial infestations in the home environment can usually be taken care of on your own. Important to consider is to use an agent that, in addition to cleaning the surface, also kills the mould, e.g. Biocool Spray away mould. It is a spray that is applied over the surface and then allowed to work before brushing and rinsing off.
Mould wash for car, boat & caravan
Mould thrives in moist environments without constant ventilation. Just such environments are found in above all boats, caravans and mobile homes. They often sit idle, unused, waiting for the next adventure. A car that is not used for a while can quickly develop mould on e.g. seat belts and seats.
In boats, caravans and cars there are often many small spaces, shower rooms, refrigerators and the like that are easily affected by mould. Cushions, sailcloth, chapels, tents and awnings are also easily affected. Because mould causes permanent damage, it is important to fix it as soon as possible. Use a specially adapted agent that not only cleans but also disinfects, kills, the mould. Otherwise, it will quickly return.
If you have problems with lingering odours in your textiles, we recommend machine or hand washing with Biocool Wash my laundry, which breaks down bad odours already at 30 degrees.
