Every once in a while, a new product comes out that seems like a winner. This last month, Chris Hart, the resident paint expert in our Milton store,found one called “MoldAvenger”. It is a 100% biodegradable, industrial strength cleaner for mold, mildew, fungus, dirt, grease and algae.
According to the sales literature, it utilizes the latest in enzyme technology to provide a safe solution to mold and mildew stain removal. When used as directed, MoldAvenger effectively cleans, removes stains and delays re-growth of mold and mildew for up to 12 months. It inhibits organic growth by the elimination of the bacterial host environment, or food source for mold and mildew. It can be safely used on virtually any surface, both inside and outside.
To me, this all sounded too good to be true. The front door of my home is shaded by the attached garage and roof. It’s an area that frequently stays moist. That is the perfect combination for mold and algae growth. At least twice a year, I use a pressure washer to remove the growth, only to have it return shortly thereafter. If MoldAvenger could actually inhibit the re-growth of the mold and algae, I could save countless cleaning hours a year! I decided it was worth a try.
The actual cleaning process was not exactly awe inspiring. After applying the product, I agitated it with a brush and let it sit for 15 minutes then followed up with a 1500 PSI spray from a pressure washer. I did notice the process was faster than normal and seemed to achieve a much more evenly cleaned surface than without the MoldAvenger (the pictures speak for themselves). Unfortunately, it was far from an effortless project. The real test will be whether the mold and algae reappears as rapidly as before. Stay tuned (or ask Dave) to find out! MoldAvenger is available at Dave’s Ace in various sizes from $7.99 to $29.99.
If you want to try out a great product try Serum1000. It consists of hydrogen peroxide and does a great job on mold.
