The Fuzzy Grey Stuff - Mould and Mildew

Airborne mould and mould spores come into a home through doors and windows or on clothing, shoes and pets. Inside it finds an ideal environment to settle and reproduce. In fact, research microbiologists and indoor air quality experts have found that indoor levels of airborne mould are frequently much higher than levels found outdoors. Very often, in our indoor environments, certain types of microorganisms - including the notorious ones - will begin to dominate specific areas.

The greatest reservoir and contribution to airborne mould in the home is the carpet and other soft fabrics. Walls in often-damp basements are also particularly troublesome. Mould growth in attics can also be a problem, especially at selling time.

Toddlers get a particularly heavy exposure when they sit or crawl because the spores tend to settle on the floor. Vacuuming removes dirt but spreads the tiny organisms around. Steam cleaning is equally inefficient. In fact, the added moisture causes spores to germinate and multiply, making matters worse.

Because carpets offer warmth, south deadening and a "cozier" environment, removing them is not always the best answer. We also need to use our basements for living space. Simply avoiding these areas in not a viable option.

Our patented treatment program called the ÆGIS Microbe Shield® prevents mould and bacterial growth on building surfaces.
