Advanced Mould Remediation
A cleaner, safer home for everyone
About Mould
Mould is not usually a problem, unless it begins growing indoors in excessive amounts. The spores are very small and float in the air.
They are carried on clothing and can enter the structure by simply coming in on a breeze. They may be present on clothing, furnishings, plants or even food that has formed Mould colonies, such as those seen on outdated bread or fruit.
Mould is part of the natural environment and can be found everywhere: indoors and outdoors. 25% of the earth’s biomass is made up of different kinds of Mould and Mould spores.
There is no practical way to eliminate all Mould and Mould spores in the indoor environment; the way to control excessive indoor Mould growth is to control moisture levels within the built environment, including excess humidity
Why Goldmorr
When biological contamination of any kind happens within a building, the building itself is the containment. The reason for this is that microorganisms are so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye. It therefore has to be assumed that they cannot be contained in one area of a building.
Microorganisms are so light, between 0.1 and 0.4 of a micron thick; they can float for days and travel to various parts of the containment undetected.
They spread through air movement, are carried on clothing and readily circulate from one area to another. Given the right conditions, the spores will form new colonies resulting in active mould growth. This is why the building itself should be the containment and the spores throughout that containment treated.
Goldmorr technicians are the only remediators that offer these services. Our customers know this and that the Goldmorr method is the safest and most complete remediation system available.
GM2000 is the only product of its kind, with results speaking for themselves. It is so safe that it has been skin tested and achieved a non irritant status. It is also a smart environmental choice as it is biodegradable and safe to use on any surface. It will not harm even the most delicate of fabrics nor discolour them.
If Mould is Present
You must clean up the Mould and eliminate sources of moisture to prevent its return. Mould is a fungus that grows in the form of multi-cellular filaments called hyphae. They cover surfaces as fluffy mycelia and can produce spores. There are thousands of known varieties of Moulds. They all require moisture for growth and derive energy from the organic matter on which they live. This is broken down by enzymes released from the mycelia (the mass of hyphae) into simpler compounds.
Moulds reproduce by producing large numbers of small spores which may contain a single nucleus or be multi-nucleate. Some produce small, hydrophobic spores that are adapted for wind dispersal and may remain airborne for long periods. Other Mould spores have slimy sheaths and are more suited to water dispersal. Mould spores are often spherical or ovoid single cells, but can be multi-cellular and variously shaped as well.
The Goldmorr System
A cleaner, safer home for everyone
The Goldmorr System will generally use only two products during the mould cleaning process. The first product is GM6000. This product is a Sodium Hypochlorite based product to clean the visible mould. It is used on hard surfaces only, such as walls, ceilings, tiles and concrete. It is common knowledge that Sodium Hypochlorite has associated VOC’s, similar to household bleach, however, part two of the process will neutralize those VOC’s. Importantly, unlike some other products, GM6000 will not remove the paint from your walls or ceiling.
Part two of our process is the most important. We will fog the entire structure with a product that will eliminate the spores. GM2000 is biodegradable, non toxic, low/non irritant and non corrosive. Best of all, it will eliminate the spores throughout your structure, thus preventing other colonies of mould being able to form in other rooms/areas.
What is Fogging?
When a Goldmorr Master Technician refers to fogging, it is the process by which the GM2000 is applied within your dwelling.
The product is misted by use of a spray device and so can gain far greater and more consistent coverage of an entire home; similar to the steam created when you have a hot shower.
Why fog the entire house instead of only treating the effected area’s?
This is simply because mould spores spread. They are carried on your clothing as well as being present in the air. If the entire dwelling is not fogged, then the mould will return in other rooms under the right conditions.
The bottom line here is that we can confidently use GM2000 knowing that you are extremely unlikely to have any reaction to it. It is not going to harm any of your furnishings either.
We have performed many treatments with occupants who suffer with such ailments as asthma and multiple sclerosis and others going through chemotherapy. All have reported improvements in their own wellbeing following mould removal and fogging, with a lot of clients opting for an annual fog regardless of the fact that mould may not be present.
Content Cleaning / Restoration
Millions of dollars a year are lost to contents that have to be disposed of due to mould. Most contents are affected by what we would call surface mould. The main reason for disposal is damage. If the contents are not damaged, then in most cases you can clean them and eliminate the any active mould growth.
Shoes, leather goods, lounge suites and timber furniture, almost all content items can be restored via micro-cleaning with GM2000. The use of the Goldmorr remediation system allows effective cleaning of contents without bleaching or damage.
