There are basic measures to assist in the control of condensation and the black mould.
Our range of ACS Anti Mould and Condensation Control Products complement these basic controls and will prevent these problems occurring for many years.
These methods are particularly helpful in the domestic environment but can be applied equally to most commercial premises.
It is always important to reduce the risk of condensation by observing the following simple recommendations:-
Ensure rooms are always warm and properly ventilated, maintaining some low heating throughout the day if possible.
When cooking, washing, bathing or drying clothes, keep the door closed and the window open - this prevents warm moist air moving to colder areas of the building.
In cold weather keep some heating on all the time.
If a paraffin or flue less gas heater is used ensure a window is open a little (every litre of paraffin produces about 1 litre of water).
Improve internal / external wall insulation.
Use ventilation systems where appropriate.

A) The frequency of application depends on the severity of the mould problem and the environmental conditions of the area being treated. For maintenance and prevention, an annual application may suffice. However, in areas prone to high humidity or recurrent mould growth, more frequent applications may be necessary, especially before applying protective coatings or when significant growth is observed.
A) ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is designed to leave minimal residue and odour once properly diluted and applied according to the instructions. Any slight residue can be rinsed off with clean water, and ventilation during application and drying helps minimize any lingering odour. The product's primary goal is to clean surfaces effectively, preparing them for further treatment or use without leaving undesirable traces.
A) While ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is effective in removing mould, mildew, and algae, caution should be exercised when using it in food preparation areas. Surfaces should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water after application and allowed to dry completely before coming into contact with food. It is always advisable to follow product guidelines and local health and safety regulations to ensure safe use in these sensitive areas.
A) By effectively eliminating mould fungi, mildew, and algae, ACS Mould Wash Concentrate helps reduce the presence of these allergens and irritants, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

A) After applying ACS Mould Wash Concentrate, it is crucial to allow the treated surface to dry thoroughly, which generally takes between 1 to 4 hours under optimal conditions. However, this can vary based on environmental factors such as humidity and temperature. Once the surface is completely dry, you can proceed with priming any bare areas and applying appropriate ACS coatings or any other desired treatments. Ensuring the surface is dry helps maximize the adherence and effectiveness of subsequent applications.
A) While ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is designed to leave minimal residue, rinsing the treated surface with clean water after application can help remove any remaining solution and ensure the area is thoroughly clean before drying or applying further treatments. This step is particularly important on surfaces that will come into contact with food or in areas frequented by children and pets.
A) ACS Mould Wash Concentrate effectively removes existing mould, mildew, and algae, creating a clean and ideal surface for the application of ACS Anti Mould Paint Emulsion or other ACS products. This pre-wash step is crucial for ensuring that the paint adheres properly and performs optimally, as it eliminates contaminants that could interfere with the paint's ability to bond to the surface or that could contribute to future mould growth beneath the paint layer.
A) The shelf life of ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is typically several years when stored correctly in its original, tightly sealed container, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Over time, the effectiveness of the concentrate may gradually decrease if stored improperly or beyond its recommended shelf life. Always check the product before use and observe any changes in appearance or consistency that may indicate degradation.
A) Yes, ACS Mould Wash Concentrate is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When using it outdoors, consider environmental conditions such as rain, which could wash away the concentrate before it has had time to act effectively.
