Mold Control

Mold Control dries to form an invisible antimicrobial barrier that encapsulates mold spores and keeps working after it dries. It is a preventive and pre-treatment product, not a stain remover. Use it to stop growth returning on a surface you have already cleaned, or to pre-treat building materials before they are closed in.

A note up front: this is not a US Enzyme formula. We stock it because contractors ask for it and it does a job our enzyme products are not designed for. PPE is required when using it — see safety below.

What it is for

• Mold clean-up and prevention
• Disaster restoration
• Pre-treatment of building material before it is enclosed
• Musty odor control

How it differs from our enzyme products

They solve different problems, and plenty of jobs use both.

If you are trying to remove visible mold staining, MoldStain T-Klear is the product — it removes the organic material rather than sealing over it. If remediation is finished and you are worried about what the mold left behind, that is MycotoxinKlear. If you want a barrier on a surface you have already cleaned, this is the right page.

Coverage

Varies with surface and application method.

• Fogging: approximately 1,400 sq ft per gallon — about a 20′ × 20′ room with 8 ft ceilings, all surfaces
• Spray (manual or compression sprayer): approximately 500 sq ft per gallon, depending on sprayer type and surface absorbency

Expect reduced coverage on absorbent surfaces such as fabrics, carpet, lumber and unpainted drywall.

Safety

PPE is required when using this product. It is not one of our plant-based enzyme formulas and it should not be treated like one.

• Keep pets away during application and do not let them contact the product while wet
• Allow treated surfaces to dry completely before reintroducing pets to the area
• Ventilate the area well after application
• Birds and other pets with sensitive respiratory systems should be removed from the home during application and until the area is dry and fully ventilated

For households where someone is chemically sensitive, our enzyme products were formulated specifically for that situation — see mold removal for chemically sensitive people.

Common questions

Does Mold Control remove mold stains?
No. It encapsulates and leaves an antimicrobial barrier. To remove staining and the organic material underneath it, use an enzyme cleaner such as MoldStain T-Klear.

What is the difference between encapsulation and removal?
Encapsulation seals the surface so growth is resisted going forward. Removal takes the organic material away. Encapsulating without removing first seals contamination in place.

Does it work on mycotoxins?
No. Mycotoxins are chemical residues that need breaking down or physically removing. MycotoxinKlear is the product for that stage.

How much do I need?
About 1,400 sq ft per gallon when fogging, or about 500 sq ft per gallon by sprayer. Absorbent surfaces use more.

Is it safe around pets and children?
PPE is required during application, pets must be kept away until surfaces are fully dry and ventilated, and birds should be removed from the home. If you need something safe around sensitive occupants, use our enzyme products instead.
