Here you will find tips and information about mold and mold removal.
Good air quality is the basis for a healthy and pleasant indoor climate. Unfortunately, the air in our living spaces often does not meet these requirements. A common problem is excessive humidity which quickly leads to mold growth. Mold can not only cause allergies, but also serious respiratory and lung diseases. Therefore, quick countermeasures and preventive actions are very important.

I. What is mould and what causes its growth?
Molds are grayish, green or black coatings on organic materials (e.g. walls) formed by certain types of fungi. These fungi usually enter our living spaces through the air in the form of spores (reproductive organs of the fungi). If ideal conditions prevail there, the fungus can settle and multiply - mold develops. Ideal conditions for mold are characterized primarily by the following 3 components in descending relevance:
- high humidity (over 70 %)
- Nutrients
- Temperature (fluctuations)
Humidity is the most important factor: The more the better for mold. Moisture is formed daily in large quantities, especially by washing clothes, showering, washing dishes and exhaling. The moisture is initially stored in the warm air, but if the air cools down quickly, the vapor condensates and settles in the cold places in the room. Condensed water is the main cause of mold growth and should therefore be avoided. However, in some rooms - such as the bathroom or the basement - moisture and temperature fluctuations are often difficult to prevent.
Nutrients: The fungi needs organic material to grow. They can get their nutrients from almost every material and are very undemanding:
- Wood, chipboard
- Wallpaper and wallpaper paste
- paper, cardboard
- Adhesives, silicones, rubber, plastics
- paints, varnishes
- Leather and fabrics
- Concrete, cement
Even materials that are free of any nutrients (e.g. glass) can become a breeding ground for mold if dirt, dander, dust, hair or similar substances are deposited on them.
Temperature: Most mold species can grow at a wide range of temperature. The temperature optimum for rapid growth is usually between 25 to 55 °C. Below or above this temperature range, mold growth is very slow or not possible at all.

III. How can I get rid of mould?
That is why our products are based on hydrogen peroxide. It is characterized by its harmless reaction products - water and oxygen. Therefore, Ag+ is perfect for the use in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Moreover, the spray can be used on all materials without damaging them, due to its material friendly properties.
