Accepted Answer

Question 3

How Does It Work?

Accepted Answer

Once the powder is mixed with water or water based paint, the active ingredient comes alive and starts feeding off the mould, eventually growing itself, spreading and killing the mould. It lives on and feeds from potential mould growth, therefore preventing any potential mould growth in the future for a long time.

Question 4

What are the advantages over traditional chemical treatment such as bleach or other chemical fungicides?

Accepted Answer

Chemical fungicides often irritate people’s lungs and eyes and they evaporate in a short duration of time. They only clean the surface and don't get the deep roots of mould. Hungry Mould Eater has no odor, no harmful effects and lives on walls and ceilings for a long time preventing new mould growth. It also grows into the pores of the walls killing the mould in its deepest roots. Conventional chemical treatments are usually reapplied several times a year, while Hungry Mould Eater can under certain conditions work for up to several years.
