How to get rid of Mould with the AURO Anti-Mould system

AURO’s ecological, chlorine-free products give you everything you need to fight and prevent mould in a simple three-step system. Where a mould infestation happens, it’s important to figure out the cause of the moisture and any invisible mould which may exist. If your home smells particularly musty or earthy, you may find that you have mould hidden behind furniture, wallpaper, claddings, or heavy curtains.

Step 1: Mould eliminator # 412

AURO Mould eliminator is chlorine-free, and can be used on tiles, walls, wood, and plastic, both exterior and interior, and in damp rooms. It’s best to check compatibility in an inconspicuous spot before using it over an entire area.

Spray the disinfectant Mould eliminator onto the mouldy surface and let it soak for at least an hour, leaving it longer if the wall is particularly badly affected. Then wipe off with a soft brush or sponge and absorb the dissolved residue, leaving none behind. Give the surface a thorough wipe down with a damp sponge or cloth.

Benefits:

• Mould Eliminator is totally Vegan Friendly
• Kills Existing mould
• Suitable for use on tiles, walls and plastic
• Suitable for interior and exterior use
• Spray application
• Contains no nasty chemicals!

Contents: water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, sugar surfactant <5%. Active agents: ethanol 50 g/l, hydrogen peroxide 40 g/l. Formulation: hand pump aerosol.

Step 2: Mould stop # 413

This stops the mould infestation efficiently and without causing damage to materials. Mould stop is based on natural ingredients, is chlorine-free, and prevents re-infestation in the long-term.

After pre-treating the infested surfaces with AURO mould eliminator # 412, spray the Mould stop onto the surface and leave it to dry. Any follow-up treatment should be made with AURO anti-mould paint # 327.

Benefits:

• Mould Stop is totally Vegan
• Based on natural ingrediants
• Stops mould infestations
• Efficient and environmentally friendly
• Chlorine FREE
• Has Long-term effects

Contents: water, alcohol, salicylic acid, sugar surfactant. Active agents: ethanol 300 g/l, salicylic acid 10 g/l. Formulation: hand pump aerosol. Auro Mould Stop is designed to kill the mould spores when intended to be painted over; and does not have a bleaching effect.

Step 3: Anti-mould paint # 327

AURO Anti-mould paint is a solvent-free, breathable interior wall paint based on minerals. The paint is characterised by very good coverage (class 3, DIN 13300) and thanks to its high pH value (approx. 12), walls covered with the paint are largely resistant to re-infestation. The Auro Anti Mould paint is the best natural organice mould proof paint available on the market, preventing mould from forming on interior walls. For existing mould problems, pre-treat with Auro Mould Eliminator 412 and Auro Mould Stop 413 before painting with Mould paint. 

Benefits:

• Preventative Treatment
• Breathable Interior wall paint with high coverage
• Stops mould Growth with its high PH Value, using no nasty chemicals

Contents: water, calcium hydroxide, titanium dioxide, colophony-glycerine ester as potassium soap, cellulose. Comes in a 30ml tester size, 1 Litre, 2.5 Litres and 5 Litre sizes

The paint is very easy to use. Apply the paint using a brush or roller, using approximately 0.1 – 0.14 l per m2 depending on the surface type. It is best to carry out a test application to assess the paint’s compatibility with old coatings. The wall paint isn’t suitable for permanently damp areas.

Tinting Anti-Mould Paint

AURO Anti-mould paint can be tinted with Lime tinting base # 350. The tints are available in 7 colour tones that can be mixed together to create the colour of your choice.

Aplication Tips

Porous materials like wallpaper or gypsum plasterboard which are very badly affected by mould should be removed rather than cleaned. It is not recommended that you apply interior wall coatings based on organic materials (wallpaper, wallpaper paste, organic paints and plaster) following treatment. Apply highly alkaline wall paint such as AURO Anti-mould paint No. 327 which has a high PH value, letting the walls breathe with excellent coverage; or use a product from AURO’s High-grade lime range.

Safety Advice

Try to avoid contact between skin or eyes with the Mould stop, Mould eliminator, and Anti-mould paint. Following contact with skin, wash straight away with water. Keep out of the reach of children, and always wear protective gloves, a mask, and protective eye-wear during application. Those with allergies, chronic respiratory diseases, or a weak immune system must never carry out repair work themselves or be in the same room whilst work is carried out due to the inevitably dispersing mould particles. Store products for 2 years in unopened containers.
