Polycell Damp Seal Aerosol 500ml

Product Information

Since mould thrives in damp and warm conditions, a bathroom is a perfect environment for it to flourish. Your aim, therefore, is to change these conditions and so prevent the build-up of mould. 1. Let moisture escape Don’t leave wet sponges and cloths in the shower or bath since they will add to the level of moisture in the atmosphere.

If you want to prevent mould, you need to keep your home as warm, particularly in colder weather. Cold air can’t hold moisture as well as warm air, and therefore condenses on cold surfaces and mould begins to grow. Paint on your damp seal paint with a brush or roller. This needs to be done carefully – don’t rush. Follow all safety precautions, ventilate the room and keep children and pets out of harm’s way. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

What Is The UK’s Best Anti Mould Paint?

Always squeegee the shower dry when you’ve finished so the excess water drains away rather than remaining on the walls. Fix any drips or leaks since they will otherwise constantly add to the room’s moisture.

A desiccant dehumidifier extracts water from the air using an absorbent material. The material is heated to turn the moist air into water, which then drips into a water tank. This type of dehumidifier is best suited to cold, unheated rooms. Clean the surface or wall and remove any mould that’s present and let dry before applying this paint. The paint dries to a touch within 2-3 hours making it one of the fastest drying damp seal paints available. Even if repairs seem expensive initially, fixing problems sooner rather than later will prevent mould developing. Wet & Forget does not contain any bleach, and so is not as harsh as other alternatives can be. The chemical can simply be diluted (5 litres of concentrate will make 30 litres of cleaning solution) and sprayed across surfaces, with no scrubbing, rinsing, or expensive equipment needed.

If you’re home is suffering from damp entering the walls, ceiling and window frames then damp seal paint can be a good solution to stop it from affecting surfaces. There are several causes of mould in the home. Firstly, mould forming due to excess moisture can be caused by problems with the actual structure of the building, such as leaking pipes, rain leaking in through the roof or around windows (penetrating damp), or rising damp in basements.If the mould is really bad and the property is unfit for habitation, says Gallagher, “a person may be classed as homeless and in this case they could make a homeless application to the council.” If they fall into the “priority need” category, because of having children or health complications, they could be entitled to emergency accommodation. “Anyone worried about mould causing dangerous conditions in their home can come to Shelter for help and advice.” Simply resolve the cause of damp, clean up the affected area, then paint over with your chosen damp paint.
