FAQs

Q: Can your curtain mould remover be used to remove mold from the front of curtains / coloured part of curtains / both sides of curtains?

Q: Can your curtain mould remover be used on carpet, mattresses, cushions, duvets or couches?

Q: What area does 4L cover?
A: Generally, a 4L container is sufficient to clean the curtains in an average sized house. However, it’s hard to say what area can be covered because the coverage depends on how much mould you’ve got, how many curtains / walls / ceilings etc you’ve got to clean, how porous your curtains are etc.

Applications:

Thermal or Colourfast Curtains – Please do a colour test on a small, hidden area of your curtains before applying it liberally. Once satisfied with the sample test, you can go ahead and spray the mould on the curtains, making sure you’ve covered any carpet or upholstery to protect them from any stray spray. If your curtains have unattached white lining behind the coloured curtain, put a piece of cardboard between the coloured layer of the curtains and the white lining and spray the white lining only. Pay attention not to let the wet lining come into contact with the coloured fabric. It’s best that you wear a mask so you don’t breathe in the product.

Ceilings & Walls: The most effective method is to spray the product on, working steadily, covering all areas well. After all traces of mould have disappeared clean the mop with fresh water and with lightly damp sponge, wipe off any excess moisture.

Wallpaper: We recommend spraying wallpaper for best results. Work from the bottom up to prevent streaking. Streaking occurs when spraying begins at the top and excess product runs down the walls leaving clean lines.
To eliminate streaking, spray the entire area from the bottom and work up. Once the area has been cleaned and all traces of mould have disappeared, wipe area well with a clean dry cloth to remove excess water.
Wallpaper should be tested for colour fastness first.

Bathrooms: Because shower curtains are waterproof, both sides must be sprayed to eliminate mould. Work with a dry curtain, spray well to cover the mould. We recommend spraying the curtain late at night and the next morning the curtain will be clean.
