Prior to using anti-condensation or anti-mould paints, some surfaces will require a strong and heavy duty mould remover product to clear damp and condensation formed fungal growth. Mould and fungi is much more noticeable on lightly coloured walls, which are typical in bathrooms, washrooms, shower facilities, laundry rooms and kitchens. Even widely spread mould can be removed easily with the right product. Light bleaches and washing liquids are not designed for stagnant, smelly and unhygienic mould as much as products such as Rust-Oleum Mathys' AMW Fungicidal Wash, Sika Mould Buster, Thermilate PRO Fungicidal Wash or Zinsser Mould Killer and Remover.
Mould and fungi growth is typically associated with walls, but can commonly affect floors, most noticeably in basements and cellars - such as wine cellars in restaurants. Using the correct product can also prevent further mould and algae growth in hidden or partly covered areas.
A number of the anti-fungal washes available at Rawlins Paints can be used on internal and external areas - such as around guttering, roofing and cladding. These anti-fungal washes and mould remover products are available as liquids to add to water, or direct to surfaces, and via spray application - as seen with Zinsser and Krud Kutter's ranges.
