5 Ways Wet & Forget Indoor Leaves Bleach Behind & Leaves You Smiling!
If your home has a mold and mildew problem, you know what a disaster it can be: the ugly mess, that musty odor, and even destruction of property or health issues. So, learn how Wet & Forget Indoor leaves bleach behind when it comes to stopping the growth of mold and mildew.
While bleach is an inexpensive option, it actually does more harm than good. From bleaching out your clothes to the strong stench that lingers in the air.
Wet & Forget Indoor Mold + Mildew Disinfectant Cleaner disinfects, kills odor-causing bacteria, and even inhibits mold and mildew re-growth.
What’s the Difference Between Mold and Mildew?
There’s no difference between mold and mildew. Indoor mold and mildew, including aspergillus niger, or “black mold,” is a type of fungal growth.
We’re talking about many types of fungus, all of which send spores into the air in your home. When the spores land on a damp surface, they start to grow into the disgusting slimy or fuzzy stuff we call “mold” or “mildew.”
While it’s impossible to completely remove all spores from your home, too much fungal growth can cause property destruction, unsightly staining, a musty odor, and even certain health problems.
That’s where Wet & Forget Indoor Mold & Mildew Disinfectant Cleaner comes in. Now, it’s time to leave bleach behind.
Here are 5 reasons to put down that bleach bottle and pick up Wet & Forget Indoor:
1. It’s Safe for Surfaces
Bleach is a pretty aggressive chemical that can cause immediate damage to many surfaces. Examples include discoloration, cracking, crumbling, or erosion.
Take your favorite pair of jeans as an example or a simple black t-shirt.
The use of bleach-based products can also cause damage that is not visible to the naked eye at first. But, over time, the use of those products will speed up the breakdown of some materials. Remember, you’re trying to clean your stuff, not destroy it!
Wet & Forget Indoor uses soft chemistry that makes it safe to use on hard, non-porous surfaces. It’s safe to use on surfaces such as finished wood, metal, vinyl, bathtubs, tile, and walls.
2. It Inhibits Re-Growth
While bleach may clean the surface stains caused by mold and mildew, it can leave behind live remnants that can lead to rapid re-growth.
Moreover, bleach is made up of 99% water. However, water is one of the key elements that mold and mildew need to grow. So, you’re actually feeding the problem.
And, if you dilute the bleach in an effort to reduce the fumes, there’s even more water being added to the area. This leaves you in a never-ending cycle of cleaning and re-cleaning.
Wet & Forget Indoor slows down and kills the mold and mildew regrowth. This gives you time to solve the moisture problem that led to the mold and mildew growth in the first place.
3. No Mixing or Dilution Needed
While you need to dilute bleach to try to reduce the fumes and the corrosion it can cause, Wet & Forget Indoor is ready for action right out of the bottle.
Although you could use bleach undiluted, many dilute it to create a “safer mixture” for cleaning. Furthermore, bleach-based products typically require the cleaner to scrub the surface as well.
However, Wet & Forget Indoor is already packed with the perfect strength. So, you can clean, disinfect, and kill mold and mildew without harming the surface you’re cleaning. After all, who wants to add more water to an already wet and smelly basement?
4. It’s a Breeze to Apply
But, with Wet & Forget Indoor, all you have to do is spray, wait, and wipe! Here’s how you apply Wet & Forget Indoor-
